AOC nails it again

[brycejones]

Oh geezus, not this crap again. Facts. Pfft..get out of here.

If I had my way anyone running a false campaign ad would have to spend as much money from their campaign running an ad correcting the record before election day.

I'd wish she nailed me.

The Truth About Lying in Political Advertising

All of us in the advertising and media business should be concerned about the repercussions our industry will most certainly confront as this election se...

As another poster asked, why do political ads get to lie? Why does Facebook have to vet political ads when broadcast tv doesn't?

AOC and the rest of the Progressheviks are pushing for that because they have the list of approved fact checkers and what the "truth" should be.

Indeed. The truth.

Indeed. The truth.

Notice the Trumper uses quotes, like there's different versions of facts. Alt-truth if you will.

Mr. Zucker is edging his way onto my naughty list as well.

Edging? Social media is a malignant tumor on our society. Facebook is the largest contributor

Yea, but theres the natural evolution of being a CEO of such a large tech company ... and then there is direct malign intent for personal gain. That gets you on the naughty list.

Personal gain was the intent for a long time. Nothings free, the product he was selling is us.

I like the Idea of facebook, the execution, not so much.

I have an account there, mainly just to keep in contact with family.

I would be more likely to use a service like that regularly if they required a small free monthly, in return for not whoring out my personal information to any bidder, and monitoring their own systems more.

It's not a bad idea for Democratic politicians to just run the most offensive and wildly false ads they can think of until Facebook reconsiders. Like 'Trump is a child molester' type stuff.

I think we should crowd fund a Facebook ad linking Trump, Zuckerberg, and Jeffrey Epstein. Wonder how quickly Zuck would begin to question his policy on ads if that took off.

Well that's the thing though, if WE made that ad then it would be taken down for being false. If a politician posted our crowdfunded 'Zuck is a pedophile' video though that's totally fine.

Facebook has policies against posting false and misleading ads, they've just decided they don't apply to politicians because Zuck is afraid of Trump using the justice department against him.

while AOC did indeed nail it, she wasn't the only one, Katie Porter again owned the witness...

Agreed, a little harder to follow vs AOC because she had more topics to cover but overall she did well.

 

[nickqt]

AOC thinks a corporation should be in charge of establishing the veracity of their customers statements, and you fellows think that's a good idea?

You want to take away the First Amendment Rights of private Americans?

Why do you hate America so so much?

A false ad claiming Republicans back the Green New Deal tests Facebook's policy on lies

A left-leaning PAC ran a Facebook ad falsely claiming that Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham endorsed the Green New Deal. The ad came after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg earlier this week about the company's policy of allowing politicians to run ads on the...

Yes, the rule is that only politicians can lie with impunity.

As to why Facebook has decided it can determine what is and is not false and then deliberately chooses not to apply that standard to politicians is...curious. (Okay its not at all curious, it’s a gift to Trump as they know he will lie relentlessly.)

Suckerberg has chosen a side, the adult thing to do here is to make that obvious: Crowd fund ads portraying Mark in context of alt right extremists. Keep em coming. Make sure he understands what side of history he is on.

I can’t wait until AOC starts running ads thanking Congress people you like for their support. She can even have a nifty picture standing next to them and photo shop their signatures on her proposals.
Can’t wait should be epic.
Same question to you as Greenman, is there a reason why Facebook should be held to a lesser standard than any other media company?
Come on man this should be something we can agree upon.

How do I become a certified or an official "fact checker"? Will there be some training or licensing process? Maybe Adam Schiff could head that committee up as well?

Or as Biden likes to say, "We choose truth over facts."

Yea, truth over alt-facts anyday bruh.

Don't know, how does one become a fact checker for broadcast TV?
Again why should facebook be held to a different standard than any other large media?
