Regardless of where Elizabeth Warren finishes in the primaries, we should neither absolve Facebook of their commitment to disinformation nor should we downplay the seriousness of social media companies elevating illegitimate media outlets like Breitbart and the Daily Caller. They must be held accountable, not to mention regulated/broken up.

Good work as always, Judd.
