NPR: FEC Commissioner Rips Facebook Over Political Ad Policy: ‘This Will Not Do’
Federal Election Commissioner Ellen Weintraub says Facebook’s “weak plan suggests the company has no idea how seriously it is hurting democracy.”
This harsh statement came after Facebook, once again, refused to ban false or fake political ads.
I am surprised that Facebook would put out such a weak proposal that it virtually invites Congress to re-examine Facebook's Section 230 exemptions.
I strongly urge Facebook to go back to the drawing boards and come back with something much more robust.
This will not do.
