Elizabeth Warren’s response to Facebook’s refusal to stop running false political ads

A few days ago, as you may have heard, Facebook made the decision to run an ad produced by the Trump campaign which had been proven to be false. While other media companies, like CNN, made the decision not to run the ad, which falsely suggested that Joe Biden, while Vice President of the United States, had offered Ukraine $1 billion in foreign aid in exchange for firing a prosecutor that was investigating a company tied to his son, Facebook made the call to accept nearly $718,000 in ad revenue from the Trump campaign, and run it.

Facebook, when asked to remove the ad by the Biden campaign, pointed to corporate policies, instituted this past September. According to those policies, the company no longer prohibits ads that contain “deceptive, false, or misleading content, including deceptive claims, offers, or methods.” While Facebook does bar ads that have been “debunked by third-party fact checkers” or “organizations with particular expertise,” they said, that does not extend to political advertisements. “Ads from political candidates,” the company says, “are ineligible for fact-checking.”

Well, presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren — taking advantage of this Facebook policy allowing lie-filled political ads — just initiated a campaign of her own on the social media site. The ad calls attention to the fact (not really) that Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg had officially endorsed Donald Trump in the 2020 race.

Obama administration staffer Ben Rhodes had the following to say about the Warren ad. “This is so smart,” he said. “It’s past time for more scrutiny of how FB puts profit over democracy while hiding behind empty language about openness when it’s a media and advertising platform.

I was hopeful that Facebook, in the wake of what happened in 2016, would put systems in place to ensure that they’d never again be put in a position where their platform was being used to spread disinformation campaigns intended to sew discord in the United States. But, clearly, that’s not going to happen.

It would take me some time to do it, and it wouldn’t be easy, but I’ve almost made up my mind to disentangle my life from Facebook once and for all. I know it’ll mean that I’ll get left out of social things even more often, and probably lose track of what my family members and old friends are up to, but I can no longer be a party to Facebook’s continued refusal to step up, take responsibility, and do the right thing. [If broadcast television networks can find a way not to run false political ads, how can it be that a company that makes $16.6 billion a quarter in ad sales, can’t put systems in place?] And it pains me to say this, not just because I know it’ll make my mother sad to see me disappear from Facebook, but because, by not being on Facebook, I’ll no longer be able to step in when people I know are sharing debunked conspiracy theories about things like Elizabeth Warren’s fondness of male prostitutes and the like, but, at some point, you just have to walk away, and stop being part of the system.

    As I noted in the post, Bob, it’s something that I’m thinking about. And I think that’s why I’ve stayed on the past two years, even though I’ve been on a whole lot less. I’ve justified staying on the platform because of my family, because it gives me an opportunity to share what I’ve written here, and because I’m occasionally able to set someone straight on an issue. I don’t know that it’s enough, though, when, on the other side of the ledger, Facebook is monetizing my time and content and using their growing monopoly to serve the interests of the 1%. They have to be held accountable, and, if Congress won’t do it, people need to.

    Didn’t everyone know Trump would be impeached by a Democratic Congress? It was totally predictable for two reasons. First, the Democrats are so freaked out by Trump being president, there is no way they’d ever forgo an opportunity to attempt impeachment. Second, Trump is too stupid and impulsive not to give them reasons to and on a regular basis.

    The only question was whether or not the Democrats would be able to gain enough seats in the 2018 midterms to open an impeachment inquiry. Even that looked somewhat inevitable.

  37. Frosted Flakes
    Posted October 15, 2019 at 8:43 am | Permalink

    Yes, but Mark, along with others, timed his “all in” on impeachment “now” in a way that perfectly preceded Pelosi’s statements. That is not the interesting the part. The interesting part is it was done in a timely way without an an explicit analysis of facts. People might dispute that analysis was not done. I don’t see it. Still don’t see it. Everything is assumed because analysis is not important. The carrying out of specific agendas is all that matters.

    Well, most of the holdouts in the Democratic Party decided an impeachment investigation was necessary once the details of Trump’s Ukraine phonecall and the whistleblower’s complaint were made public. So any manipulation of timing which is going on is at the level of whoever advised the whistleblower. But it also all hinged on Trump doing something really stupid which could be strongly argued to be a violation of law. I supposed it would also have to have some documentation to serve as evidence, such as a recording, or transcript of a recording. The White House attempting to conceal the phonecall by falsely claiming it involved classified information also helped make it a strong foundation for a case. I’m not sure there was any significance to the timing apart from this particular fuckup by this fuckup-in-chief was the first strongest example with which a case could be made. Trump has been doing a number of very inappropriate and technically illegal things since taking office. It’s only because the GOP Congress was so criminally complicit that action wasn’t taken sooner.

    Hunter Biden’s foreign business deals were inappropriate, and Joe should have known better. The Obama Administration shouldn’t have permitted it. It may also be cause for some sort of legal action. But it isn’t justification for a subsequent president doing something similar.

    Someone, maybe you or EOS, should explain to the president that his re-election committee should be doing all his opposition research and attack ads. That’s a sure way he could avoid breaking laws himself personally. It’s all legal when an official campaign organization does the stupid shit he was trying to do himself. What a complete moron he is. And the people around him are morons for not explaining it to him, unless they want him to get impeached so they an have Pence as president, which is what I suspect.

    “I supposed it would also have to have some documentation to serve as evidence, such as a recording, or transcript of a recording.”

    As I see it two things need to happen to show a violation of a rule. First, it needs to be established that FEC Weintraub’s interpretation of info can be “a thing of value” is anything like a universal interpretation. It is not. Even the Mueller report delved into the issue of interpretation of info as thing of value and seemed to sided on the issue as being in grey area at best. Second, would need to show there was a connection between info sought FOR the purpose of campaign dirt and not some other reason. Absent that type of evidence they have nothing.

    The ultimate irony to me is some of the actual pretext for some of Trump’s supposed rule breaking poking around into the Russian interference narrative can be gleaned from the info provided in the actual Mueller Report. Sounds crazy right?

    FF: “Second, would need to show there was a connection between info sought FOR the purpose of campaign dirt and not some other reason. Absent that type of evidence they have nothing.”

    Actually, the burden would be more on Trump’s defenders in the Senate to show the legitimate reason Trump would have for personally taking action regarding an issue involving his most likely opponent in the coming election. It would have to be a pretty compelling alternative motive also, because the obvious motive is most compelling and Trump has established that he doesn’t know better than to commit such violations. The Democrats have the compelling case, so Republicans need to show the holes in it. But we’ve seen the Republicans have made a very open decision to put their political aspirations above any public duty. That’s been their very public stance since Obama was elected. So even if the Democrats were to make a powerful and airtight case, I doubt Republicans would respond as responsible public servants beholden only to the insititions which they’ve have sworn to preserve and protect.

    Maybe the best evidence will be the total volume of all the former Obama officials and the active criminal investigations, most of whom are not running for office. If Biden were the only official being scrutinized, the Dem response might have slight validity. But the corruption of the Obama administration may be so extensive that it becomes obvious it has nothing to do with the upcoming election and everything to do with holding previous officeholders accountable.

    I appreciate you communicating your perspective but I don’t agree at all. I don’t think the Dem’s case is compelling at all. For it to lead to actual removal office or even for the theater of it all to lead to winning the optics battle requires more of the American people to be sold on the ideas that 1) info ought to be considered the equivalent “A thing of value; 2) An Investigation into possible corruption is a corrupt act if specific steps are not followed; and 3) Trump did not want to go against 10% Joe.

    I’m sorry. 3 is so fetched, 3 alone is sufficient to erase anything that might seem compelling about the Dem case to the vast majority of Americans.

    Open investigations wouldn’t be very compelling as investigations can be opened for political reasons. Convictions, on the other hand, might provide some support. However, I doubt Trump has personally bothered to talk about any other investigations (do you know of any particular examples?) For that reason, that defense would be weak, especially without convictions. It could easily be shown that Trump was personally focused on the Bidens.

    The most absurd thing about all this is that Trump’s re-election committee could have done all of it without violating any laws. Trump is just too dumb to understand that, and his people are not loyal enough to explain that to him – that or they are to corrupt to doubt they can get away with blatent violations.

    Most Americans, even according to Fox, already seem pretty convinced Trump did something wrong. They still might be persuaded it wasn’t to the degree of seriousness as to be impeachable. But much of that will depend on the quality of the case the GOP Senators make.

    I’d assume Senate Republicans will do the same thing they did on Kavanaugh, and depending on how well the Democrats present their case, it could do some damage to Trump and Senate Republicans in 2020. I don’t think this GOP Senate is capable of doing their duty regardless of the details. They’re nothing more than idealogs and party stooges.

    I think one piece of evidence that EOS is right is the story of the transcript has always been told by Dems in a way that conveniently skips over Trumps inquiry into other possible pieces of corruption. Why?

    I don’t understand the idea that nothing ought to have been considered classified in the transcript either. My understanding is that Trump released the transcript only after Ukrainian prez said it was ok to do it. They were discussing Potential investigations. How is that not sensitive info?

    American opinion/ support for impeachment, right now, when not much is at stake, speaks to the success the corrupted press has at forming flimsy opinion.

    Whereas Biden says we would not not have Hunter doing what he did if he was elected president. From where does the change of heart come from. From what place does Trump double-down?

    Crowdstrike is the fakiest of fake news, yet being regurgitated by the cud chewing magats. I guess the name has high conspiracy appeal.

    From Vice News (as featured in agent oranges murderous rampage video) (which is a hole nother story, WTF)

    “In a 2017 interview with the Associated Press, Trump said CrowdStrike is “Ukraine-based” (fact check: it’s based in Sunnyvale, California, and has a big office in Arlington, Virginia).

    “That’s what I heard. I heard it’s owned by a very rich Ukrainian, that’s what I heard,” Trump said.

    So, to recap, it seems that Trump is saying that CrowdStrike, an American company, is actually Ukrainian. That’s why he’s asking the new President of Ukraine, a former comedian by the way, to help him find a missing server that actually does not exist.”

    You call it a false theory. Although I have many times heard people calling CrowdStrike a false theory I have never heard anyone articulate what the supposed false theory is comprised of. What does the supposed theory attempt to explain away? Since you seem to know it is a theory and false can you at least articulate the supposed theory?

    What exactly hinges upon where CrowdStrike is based/ who has money invested? What exactly hinges upon Trump being right or wrong about fishy stuff happening around CrowdStrike?

    “Dmitri Alperovitch is Russian-born American computer security industry executive. He is co-founder and chief technology officer of CrowdStrike.”
