Democratic National Committee slams Facebook for letting Trump 'mislead' Americans 'unimpeded'

The Democratic National Committee slammed Facebook on Tuesday, claiming the company is allowing President Donald Trump "to mislead the American people on their platform unimpeded."

The comments made by DNC CEO Seema Nanda to CNN came after Facebook confirmed last week it would not fact-check posts or advertisements from politicians. The Trump campaign has spent almost $20 million on Facebook ads since May 2018.

"We know that Trump has an utter disregard for the truth," Nanda told CNN. Facebook's policy allows Trump to share misinformation, she said.

Nick Clegg, the former deputy prime minister of the United Kingdom and now a Facebook vice president, said in a speech in Washington last week, "It is not our role to intervene when politicians speak."

Where they give us the real story of how Hillary rigged the election even though that makes no sense because she lost.

...and allowed the private information of Farcebook* members to be co-opted and used by Robert Mercer*s Cambridge Analytica* in their quest to aid the Russians* in installing tRump* as POTUS. Zuckerfuck* is a liar and a traitor.

Farcebook* needs to be treated like the media company that it is and subject to the regulations. Breaking up Farcebook* is a very good idea.

A long time, but my husband is still in it so he keeps me up to date with family things and friends from our past. So I guess I kind of cheat.
