 Doesn't seem very impartial.

Of course it is. We already know that Zuck fears Liz and Bernie, why wouldn't we automatically assume he will take a neutral approach to the fascist who wants to keep his taxes low?

The last thing tech giants want is a president who will go after them and put an end to them having to pay nothing in taxes. Facebook will happily help Trump if it helps their bottom line and lets them continue to hoard profits overseas.

Focusing on the issue of taxes misses the more important reason for their coziness with Trump and hostility to Sanders and Warren. Zuckerberg has already expressed that he will take the government to court if Sanders or Warren win the election and attempt to enforce antitrust laws against these tech monopolies. They're simply more interested in preserving the power (and wealth) that comes with keeping their company so large.

They fear being broken up. Taxes are a less significant concern.

[Horatii]

That’s good I suppose.

[John Dule]

Good. This is what you get when you say you're going to break up companies willy-nilly. Only a loon would expect them to go down without a fight.

This is similar to how the Democrats cheered when they found out that Bush Sr and others were voting for Hillary because "Trump is such a monster for mean tweets and for being colorful in his criticisms of the establishment."

I cheer for Facebook, as corrupt and social justice friendly as they are, for joining in the fight against a socialist takeover of the United States, which would destroy the country and the economic livelihood of right-wingers and left-wingers alike.

[ملكة كرينجيتوك]

Wonder what rank-and-file Facebook employees have to say about this.

[NYSforKennedy2024]

ZUCK FEARS YANG, ZUCK FEARS YANG!

[Grassroots]

One staff person on Facebook being republican and we are supposed to disregard the reality of Facebook's left wing bias? You aren't fooling anyone.

[darklordoftech]

Why would Facebook fear a Biden, Harrris, or Buttigieg Presidency?

I can’t wait for your next troll persona, this lolbertarian “Democrat” one is old already.

Also no one thinks Trump is a monster for mean tweets, we think he’s a monster because he’s probably a literal child rapist and definitely is an idiotic, authoritarian, sexually assaulting, bigoted, back-stabbing, corrupt, treasonous sack of s-t who spits on all that is good about America. That’s also why HW hated the SOB. I don’t have to agree with someone on everything to respect them as a decent human being, which HW was. Can’t say the same for Trump or any of the brainless marks he’s conned into worshipping him.

Anyone who is still standing by this motherf-ker after what he did to the Kurds is either a sociopath who is beyond all redemption, or thinks s-t like that is “just a joke trollol, why so triggered libs?” and therefore is so brain-dead that a lobotomy would have no effect.

I have so many personas in my repertoire. Want a list?

Anyway, glad to know that many rich folks who were against Trump in 2016 will back him in 2020. Warren will be easier to beat than Hillary!

[morgankingsley]

Most things I have seen are the exact opposite, and just promoting Warren and Sanders material like crazy. I mean, I heard the stories, but I just have never seen any of them in person, so I can't say from experience

Elizabeth Warren targets Facebook's ad policy -- with a Facebook ad

The ads, which began running widely on Thursday, start with a bold but obvious falsehood: That Facebook and its CEO Mark Zuckerberg have endorsed President Trump's reelection campaign.

"You're probably shocked," reads the ad, which has already reached tens of thousands of viewers nationwide. "And you might be thinking, 'how could this possibly be true?' Well, it's not."

The ad's own admission of a lie seeks to draw attention to a controversial Facebook policy Warren has spent days criticizing. Under the policy, Facebook exempts ads by politicians from third-party fact-checking — a loophole, Warren says, that allows Zuckerberg to continue taking "gobs of money" from Trump's campaign despite Trump's ads telling untruths about former Vice President Joe Biden and his son.

Does Warren support having a Ministry of Truth to decide which ads are allowed?

[redeagleofficial]

Of course it is. We already know that Zuck fears Liz and Bernie, why wouldn't we automatically assume he will take a neutral approach to the fascist who wants to keep his taxes low?

Actual fascists, not moderate republicans that hurt your feelings, usually levied high taxes.  Look at Mussolini after 1927 for example and stop your disingenuous garbage comparisons.

Why after 1927 may I ask>

Imagine being so deranged in support for a candidate, you decide to back Facebook and their ridiculous policy.

If you think my post was saying "Donald Trump is a fascist because he wants to lower taxes", you're delusional.

Inside Mark Zuckerberg's private meetings with conservative pundits

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg has been hosting informal talks and small, off-the-record dinners with conservative journalists, commentators and at least one Republican lawmaker in recent months to discuss issues like free speech and discuss partnerships.

The dinners, which began in July, are part of Zuckerberg’s broader effort to cultivate friends on the right amid outrage by President Donald Trump and his allies over alleged “bias” against conservatives at Facebook and other major social media companies. "I’m under no illusions that he’s a conservative but I think he does care about some of our concerns,” said one person familiar with the gatherings, which multiple sources have confirmed.

FB doesn't want to pick and choose which campaign ads to run.  Legally it could even be a murky area in terms of campaign finance laws, I think?
