Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) grilled Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg about his company's new political ad policy during a House Financial Services Committee hearing Wednesday.
The freshman New York lawmaker asked Zuckerberg a series of hypotheticals about what types of political ads candidates could run without Facebook taking them down.
"Could I pay to target predominantly black zip codes and advertise them the incorrect election date?" Ocasio-Cortez asked.
"No, you couldn't," Zuckerberg responded, emphasizing the platform's policy of intervening in political ads when they incite violence or could lead to voter suppression.
"Could I run ads targeting Republicans in primaries saying that they voted for the Green New Deal?" Ocasio-Cortez then asked.
"Congresswoman, I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head," Zuckerberg said. "I think probably."
"Do you see a problem here with a complete lack of fact-checking on political advertisements?" Ocasio-Cortez countered.
"Congresswoman, I think lying is bad," Zuckerberg responded.
"So you will take down lies, or you won't take down lies? I think this is a pretty simple yes or no," she asked again.
"It depends on the context that it shows up," the tech executive responded.

What a shame that this low level waitress bartender who steals from the tip jar, has an IQ of a golf ball and at best would be cleaning his toilets is grilling a billionaire entrepreneur
By the way, how did little Marky come into control of the code forming the foundation for FakeBook?
And she is now the de facto leader of the Democrap party, Nutzi Pelosis boss. When Nutzi decided to impeach Trump, that’s when the transfer of power went to AOC who although she has a double digit IQ, has proven herself leagues smarter than Pelosi. Trump should harp on that.
There isn’t a sentient being in the multiverse who couldn’t top Occasional Cortex in a one on one grilling.
Of course, since the Zuck-thing is a slimeball wrapped in feces covered with Obamastuff, perhaps he didn’t want to trigger a person who is a member of a group even more slimy, untrustworthy and dishonest than he.
If it was me sitting there, I would have said: We dont fact-check anything. Based on what you have said yourself on national television, maam ... being morally right is more important than being factually correct anyway.
Seriously. I don’t like Zuckerberg, but who is she?
She and Thunberg are similar.
Loud mouth chicks that are borderline retards.
He stole it.
Just what exactly is a ‘’black zip code’’? Honest to God every time this chick opens her mouth she say’s something dumber than the last dumb thing she said.
Of course not. That would make them God. Any agency that would be responsible for fact checking would be a superpower that would effectively rule.
Above 100th St in NYC...
Nope. The clowns set him up based on social media engineering that was passed along to the Zuck.
Especially since Democrats believe truth doesn’t matter.
I would have gone through a whole litany of hoax Hate Crimes with her
She’s on the Arkansas-style Shit List.
Then why does he allow posts to be fact-checked?
Cortez’s script was prolly written by her handlers Justice Democrats.
This is the Facebook Is Evil ping list.
