Exactly how would he go about judging if something is a lie or not? Most politicians just exaggerate or avoid certain things to paint a perspective. The dems want the USA to turn into China with full censorship now?

It’s allowed by law on tv. Not sure why everyone is out to get Facebook

Qualcomm libertarin OP Oct 24, 2019

Is there a law that allows that?

Autodesk tc_chaser Oct 24, 2019

Yeah that’s what allowed by law means. Search federal communications act section 315.

What about blatant lies ? But not so blatant that it would fool a lot of people who don't factcheck.

Autodesk tc_chaser Oct 24, 2019

They are allowed on tv.

What is the definition of a blatant lie? Where do you cross the line between blatant/non-blatant?

What about advertising the wrong date for the election and targeting Republican zipcodes?

🙄 Block and Filter content Same people will say, why did you block MY content. You are biased against us. Then proceed to want to break them up. I don't think they want to be the ones making these calls. Could be why these decisions will end up with Independent third party. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mashable.com/article/zuckerberg-note-content-governance-and-enforcement.amp

If a politician says I will give everyone free healthcare, free college, loan forgiveness and no extra taxes. Or I will build the wall and have Mexico pay. Are these lies (they obviously are)? How is FB supposed to ban this stuff.

Yes. There are a lot of truths that better be portrayed as lies. If it's not done it's gonna poison generations.

generations will be spoiled and lost their judging ability, more likely to be brainwashed.

If Facebook prohibits lying, then all politicians will be banned.

I don’t think that advertising wrong election date will mess with people because people that are on Facebook probably check out other websites sometimes.

Google TMontana Oct 24, 2019

Lets get FB to become Ministry of Truth, Yay! What an awesome idea

Microsoft kfmaster Oct 24, 2019

The first types of posts to ban is that there are only 2 Genders
