The Democratic National Committee (DNC) has accused Facebook of allowing President Trump to "mislead the American people" and demanded that "action be taken to silence his propagation of lies."
Facebook's vice president of global affairs and communications, Nick Clegg, said that "it is our policy to treat speech from politicians as newsworthy content that should, as a general rule, be seen and heard. In open democracies, voters rightly believe that, as a general rule, they should be able to judge what politicians say themselves."
However, DNC CEO Seema Nanda complained that "Facebook has the means to protect people from being exposed to the misinformation spewing from Trump and the responsibility to do so. They should do this voluntarily rather than wait for us to compel them to do the right thing under penalty of law."
In related news, Democratic presidential candidate California Sen. Kamala Harris urged Twitter to ban Trump's tweets. "Truth should not be impeded by the intrusion of this man's twisted views," Harris asserted. "There are plenty of respected reporters at CNN, MSNBC, ABC, etc. who can convey what's really going on to the American voters. We shouldn't have to tolerate Trump's repeated efforts to muddle their message."

It may be satire, but FB is ready and willing to use its resources to assure that Trump is not reelected. So is google.
