The attack followed a speech the Facebook CEO gave at Georgetown University explaining his philosophy on free speech on the platform.

Senator Elizabeth Warren, a Democrat from Massachusetts and 2020 presidential candidate , and Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Facebook.Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., took another jab at Mark Zuckerberg Thursday, accusing theCEO of helping Donald Trump win the presidential election in 2016 and aiding his re-election at a profit.

"Facebook is actively helping Trump spread lies and misinformation," Warren said in a tweet, adding that Facebook is "unprepared" to deal with the 2020 election.at Georgetown University. Zuckerberg defended his decision to err on the side of allowing more speech on Facebook, rather than less, even as the company has been attacked by both political parties for the types of content it hosts.

Political ads have been a sticking point for Facebook in the past few weeks after the company said itplaced by politicians in a response to a request from the Biden campaign to remove an ad with unsubstantiated claims placed by Trump. Zuckerberg said in the speech that he's gone as far as to consider eliminating political ads altogether, but said it would still leave ambiguity on where to draw the line.

"There are many more ads about issues than there ads about elections. Do we ban ads about healthcare, immigration or women's empowerment?" he said. "If you're not going to ban those, does it really make sense to give everyone else a voice in political debates except for the candidates themselves?"

I have news for Warren, it’s her left wing, socialist policies that will give Trump another term. He may be a PITA but he is fantastic for our economy.

“Warren slams Zuckerberg’s speech, saying America’s free speech policy could help Trump win again” There. Fixed it.

Laying the groundwork for the reasons behind the defeat.

Warren 90% of the ad's are for Socialist=Dem=Liberals. That being said what she wants is shutting down Republicans only.

he has a right to his business he built from the ground up left intact.

is she seriously taking a huge swipe at big tech because she feels she cant win the election because of it.. controlling or what

Shows you why Warren has no chance. The NY media would be all over Trump if he Demagogued a US Public Company.

You’re President DONALD TRUMP has already won the 2020 presidential election!

If you fact checked political ads it would eliminate 99% of all political ads.

Another weak Democrat candidate will also help realDonaldTrump win

Warren will be the first woman spanking Trump's ass in 2020

bub but its ok for the leftists in the tv media to campaign openly for you and your cronies

He knows. That's why he's letting the lies stay.

Democrats go after Sen. Warren for dodging question on raising taxes2020 Democratic candidates focused on attacking Sen. Elizabeth Warren at the fourth debate on her proposed health care plan. Joe Scarborough says: 'It was striking how much they went after Elizabeth Warren... She is actually creating talking points that Republicans will use ... if she doesn't answer the question: 'how are you going to pay for a Medicare for All plan?'... She just can't answer that question.' Trying to get her to say tax increase. Big deal. Total costs go down. Is it really that hard to understand? Do you really want a sound bite that Trump will use against her constantly if she’s the nominee?
