I guess that we can officially say that Facebook is now just as much an official arm of the Republican Party as Fox News.

We now understand why FB had "such difficulty" in keeping misleading stories and ads off their platform in 2016. Why would they do anything differently now? It's only about profit in the end. Unfortunately, Mark Zuckerberg doesn't understand that it is exactly decisions like this which lead to an uncorrupted politician like Elizabeth Warren wanting to break them up!

Maybe it’s time to call for a Facebook blackout. This one’s on us, folks.

I’ve been on a FB blackout for several years now. To say that you’re on FB to “share pictures”, “keep up with my kids, family, friends” is BS. Our smartphones make all that very easy without all of FB’s baggage. Zuck & his technological monster FB, is anathema to this country’s health & welfare.

I totally agree!! I finally left two years ago. I was a pretty avid political commenter and thought I would miss it, even though it had been doing nothing more than raising my blood pressure for months because of all the fake news and willfully ignorant people who blindly believed it. It turns out I haven't missed it for a single day! My son got me into Reddit, and even though there will always be idiots on the internet, I've been really impressed with the contents and the people. Zuckerberg needs to go.

Judd, there is no one else that can make me grateful by telling me really awful news. Democracy Dies in Darkness. Thanks for being a light on corruption.

This is the single most depressing news I’ve read since the climate catastrophe became unstoppable.

Money talks. Zuck may see the writing on the wall that FB may be heading to Dinosaur land. Protect the dollars at all costs. Lie baby lie, cause FB is interested in your ad dollars and their platform. Jack is the same on Twitter. 1%er Zuckerberg is no diff than the rest.

We are doomed. Zuck will laugh all the way to the bank, especially for ads against Warren.

When you can’t make money while enforcing your own rules what else is there to do but to change the rules?
