Elizabeth Warren's presidential campaign ran an ad on Facebook that falsely claims CEO Mark Zuckerberg endorsed Trump, in a bid to highlight complaints about the social-media giant's handling of misinformation

Sen. Elizabeth Warren sought to turn Facebook Inc.’s political ad policy against it, running an ad with a false claim about Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg to highlight complaints about the social-media giant’s handling of misinformation.

The ad, which the Warren presidential campaign ran on Facebook, says Mr. Zuckerberg endorsed President Trump’s re-election, and shows an image of the two men shaking hands. The ad’s text then quickly acknowledges that the endorsement claim is false, and criticizes Facebook’s policy, announced...

If it weren’t for double standards, the Democrats would have no standards at all...

You just saw this Wow.

So now Facebook has to fact check everything on it’s platform and be an editor?

What do people expect from a liar? Really? Hopefully Zuk will fire back and toast her sorry a$$

Is it Facebook’s job to fact check political ads? Does CBS, NBC and others do the same? Seems to me they provide a platform, but not sure where their responsibility lies.

She does tend to lie and stretch the truth , problem is, she’s the one supposed to be running on an open platform trying to establish trust with the voters? 🤷‍♂️

Who will support human rights, ? While the Internet Research Agency accuses the Foreign Policy of a partial lie about the work of the Agency, politically weak Republicans are unable to force Saudi Arabia to legalize the right of Saudi women to nude photos in social networks!

Whoops

She’s proving a point. Facebook refuses to acknowledge it’s role in allowing republican campaigns to manipulate and mislead voters. We’ve reached a point in society where social media isn’t some harmless hobby. It’s where many people are getting their news.

Sure U want 2 say that Zuckerberg didn’t? What about all those Rubles? Howard Hughes was Pro-Allies but he still made a bunch of money selling 2 the Nazis. Remember?(why am I reminding a news outlet-with unlimited research abilities) that Zuckerberg’s work with misleading Face

Say whaaat?

Nice job, Liz! It's not easy to think about some inappropriate thing Zuckerberg has done that would be a lie.

a very dangerous alternative.

Says the blatant liar about being American Indian & bring fired for being pregnant!

Really, didn’t she claim to be American Indian that turned out to be false.

Facebookception!!

Well, has zuckerberg denied it, or has the wsj been unable as of yet to find evidence that zuckerberg endorsed trump?

Again, a wholesale liar. She should not be in a position of power.

Fighting fire with fire.

Facebook Sucks !

Please take Facebook down. They are a corrupt organization

I believe warren over Trump and Zuckerberg and day of the week. warren wants to break up Facebook over antitrust laws. Facebook needs to be broke up. They sell you data to the highest bidder.

DeleteFacebook

So now they should be charged with interfering in an ejection. Dumbasses

The way I see it, she’s spreading fake news and lying. Clear evidence she’s corrupt. I don’t accept her bogus explanation. smh

No it did not say that. It lead with it and then noted ‘no’..and went on to say FB isn’t taking Trump and Trump2020 lies down as false adverts. She is correct. wsj is gaslighting.

Wasn’t she fired for getting pregnant? Another lie!

Up to her old Indian tricks

She’s highlighting someone else’s misinformation? A bit of irony there.

Level 10 Ring Master

Interesting tactic...the problem: if everyone lies like Trump does, people will tune out and not engage in the democracy.

great. So is her rationale: fighting fake news with fake issues?

Next she'll say the CIA told her? MAYBE I'll believe her then

Why is truth not spoken anymore? Why are lies tolerated? Laws designed to prosecute those who lie and steal. Why does America do nothing about these improprieties?

You know who could decide on what is and isn’t misinformation? The American citizen. Believe it or not we don’t need big brother telling us what is and isn’t true.

Elizabeth Warren is a socialist who wants to 'remake Capitalism'. As much as you might dislike DT, her vision qill kill jobs and increase income inequality, because that's what Socialism does. elizabethwarrenwilldestroycapitalism

Clever

Facebook is not and never will be a news outlet. Anyone who gets news or advice from Facebook is a moron. You want to criticize Facebook? Why not Fox News, they claim to be fair and balanced? Is that true? Or CNN, the most trusted name in news facts... GROW UP!!

Everyone at my work get their news from Facebook. A majority of them also voted for Trump. What a coincidence.

That seems pretty dishonest. Which has been par for the course for ewarren

Facebook MarkZuckerberg

ewarren you deserve to lose votes for doing something this dumb. 👏👏👏

The first amendment is completely lost on ewarren

love to give facebook lots of money to own them

Y’all slow on this one.

ewarren wants to silence the voter. Her and the rest of the dems can’t control with local news and news paper. Transparency is a killer.

Liar Warren.

Nice going Zuckerberg ! WatchChad

Must’ve been on her agenda as Lie of the Day

She’s obviously too stupid to win the Presidency. Pissing her friends off is bizarre.

Democratic debate on Tuesday features a surging Elizabeth Warren and a recuperating Bernie SandersTuesday’s Democratic presidential debate will have a significantly different backdrop than prior ones. Warren is now challenging Biden for the front-runner label, Sanders is facing health questions, and an impeachment effort is in full swing. Bernie is toast, Biden is incompetent so that leaves Lizzy as the last socialist standing. Say a prayer for our country if she were to be elected President! What a sham....
