Facebook Sticks To Its Policy Allowing Lies In Political Ads

Facebook maintains its policy of allowing lies in political ads, despite criticism from employees and politicians. The company argues that private companies should not decide on political ad content. Facebook will continue microtargeting, a strategy that can spread disinformation. However, it plans to introduce controls for users to see fewer political ads and tools to show ad reach. These changes will be optional and implemented in the summer.
