Once again, Facebook has managed to make a PR move that is both not even close to solving the problem, and appallingly dangerous. They will cede the biggest digital platform to right-wing pages that already lie daily, with no holds barred, for the week before the election. https://twitter.com/facebook/status/1301476394048741383">https://twitter.com/facebook/...

The sitting president has already proven to be one of the biggest, most shameless sources of it. Not being able to run new ads to correct it, for a week before the election(!), is a one-sided gag rule.
If you’ve worked in politics you know how long and crucial that last week can be. Right-wing pages, who already have the biggest reach, will come up with 50 new lies a day and nobody will have a shot at pushing back. This is irresponsible, undemocratic, and a pathetic CYA stunt.
Mark Zuckerberg is putting out press releases about the money he’s donated to protect our election while he single-handedly does his damnedest to hand it to Trump.
