But in recent days, Facebook has wavered as progressives have tested the limits of its policy. Over the weekend, the company took down an ad that falsely claimed Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) supports the Green New Deal. A left-leaning political action committee, the Really Online Lefty League, had posted the ad, and Facebook said it took the action because the ad came from a political action group, not a politician, and therefore different rules applied.
AOC intends to burns 10 trillion in CO2 pursuing her Green new Deal. Of that 10 trillion, even a hundred billion or so to South Carolina would get Lindsey's support. I am not quite sure he is not a supporter.
What happens when Liz advertises free Medicare for All, a complete lie? Or AOC claiming she is going to refreeze ten trillion in melted ice after her favorite parties get their goodies. Or Kamal claiming she is not just another affirmative action skirt from California? Or mayor Garcetti promising a million refugees condos in LA?
It is all going to fail political check, so the only solution is to political check them all. Zuck's real problem is that progressives want to lie while conservatives and libertarians are forced to fact check. The progressives will lose, they lose political support when we all discover that Zuck has a biased system in their favor.
What if I ran a political ad that said Trump was a bit of dufas. It happens to be true, many repubs would agree. Would Zuck take that down?
This article is from Vox, famous for lying in service of progressive, and they state their bias quite clearly in the article. Since Vox has a known bias and is fairly incompetent anyway, Zuck should take down any of their posted stuff.
Vox gets one thing straight, the problem is not going away, especially since almost all political speech contains some untruth.
