Re:Facebook Now Allows Politicians to Lie in Paid Ads by michalu on Friday October 04, 2019 @07:48AM (#21156652)
This is not about "Facebook allows politicians to lie" it's about taking down Trump's anti-impeachment ad.

The page claims it was debunked by "fact-checkers" but that in fact is a lie and it provides no reference to any of those fact-checks.

It's just a political pressure to suppress this ad and presidential candidate, as it's already happening across all platforms (Reddit limiting Trump's subreddit appearance on top page, Twitter "warning sign," Facebook posts up a message with captcha if you're sending a conservative news link on messenger, to name a few.

Besides, this shouldn't even be on HN.
