The Democratic National Committee (DNC) is accusing Facebook of allowing President Trump to "mislead the American people" without facing any consequences.

DNC CEO Seema Nanda made the allegations in a Tuesday interview with CNN just a week after the tech giant announced that it would not remove posts or advertisements from politicians if they happen to violate the company's community rules.

Nanda told CNN that Facebook's move will allow Trump to "mislead the American people on their platform unimpeded."

"We know that Trump has an utter disregard for the truth," she said.

"Social media platforms have a responsibility to protect our democracy and counter disinformation online. This is a serious missed opportunity by Facebook," Nanda added.

“What are these people hiding they don’t want us to know about?”

THAT is the core question. The question of this decade.
