Facebook Has Changed Its Rules to Allow Trump to Outright Lie in 2020.

2. The new ad policy “prohibits ads that include claims debunked by third-party fact checkers”

So you would think that would prohibit political ads that are debunked

Nope.

3. This came up when I noticed that Trump was running an ad on Facebook featuring a claim that was ruled false by two Facebook-approved third-party fact-checkers, @PolitiFact and @factcheckdotorg

No wonder Trump is already spending millions on Facebook they are allowing him to engage his favored political rhetoric — outright lies.

I’m sorry, I have to get back to work, but the linked article in Judd’s tweet tell the whole sorry story.

This is very troublesome, because no one can lie as quickly, or loudly, as the Orange Menace.
