Warren uses false ads to lash out at Facebook CEO
ABC News ^ | 10/13/19 | STEFF THOMAS, SASHA PEZENI, KARMA ALLEN

Posted on 10/14/2019 3:45:05 AM PDT by Libloather

Massachusetts senator and presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren continued her campaign against Facebook on Sunday, one day after she posted false advertisements to Facebook on Saturday to see if she could prove to voters that the social media platform values profit over facts.

"Facebook holds incredible power to affect elections and our national debate. They’ve decided to let political figures lie to you -- even about Facebook itself -- while their executives and their investors get even richer off the ads containing these lies," Warren wrote in a series of Twitter posts Saturday criticizing Facebook and its founder, Mark Zuckerberg.

The ads, publicly sponsored by the Warren campaign, claim Zuckerberg endorsed President Donald Trump for reelection, showing a photo of Trump and Zuckerberg in the Oval Office. Then the ads immediately take it back, ironically slamming Zuckerberg for giving politicians free reign to post false information.

...ironically slamming Zuckerberg for giving politicians free reign to post false information.

Zuckerberg only extends that privilege to Socialist politicians. Thus, Warren is free to post whatever she wants.

Elizabeth Warren’s dishonesty goes to the marrow of her bones. Everything about her is a lie and a fraud.

She is firing a warning shot to Big Tech. And not just for herself — she is doing it on behalf of all Leftists. The message is: Stay on the Reservation or Else!!

She also wants to flex her muscles and show that Zuck is her bit@h.

The woman who is already publicly branded and best known as a Liar decides it is a good idea to pull a stunt involving Lies? Why is she so keen on censoring the President from Facebook? We already know that the Socials are not good at deciding what is a lie, a different perspective or an opinion. Let the Socials be free and open platforms and let the consumer decide what is individually acceptable. It concerns me that Warren wants to limit the information I can receive.

Yup. I often wonder if these guys are smart enough to realize that the Liberals want everything they have. Or do they figure that they can keep, or even extend, their positions and status by being “Heroes of the Revolution”?

Whatever their ideology, these are not stupid people. So its hard to believe they would be total, unthinking dupes of the Left.

Obama owned FB.
Mad Max declared it was biggest database in the world.
Warren wants a piece. Too bad she is nuts.

Everything about progressives is a lie and a fraud, beginning with their name ‘progressive’.

I’m not a fan of Facebook, but if I were a candidate, I wouldn’t go to war with them.

It’s not real. Facebook already deletes or corrects any conservative meme. She’s trying to push them ever farther to the Left. What’s next is probably All political memes must be approved by the DNC

So why isn’t Warren’s official facebook account in Facebook jail?

To buy political ads you have to be “confirmed” and will be held accountable (i.e. they can ban you or take other action).
