Let's get Facebook to Stop Allowing Lie-Filled Political Ads!

Facebook MUST monitor and take down political ads with lies, corrupt intent, and misleading information.

Why is this important?

Facebook's Ad policy to allow lie-filled political ads is blatant, anti-democracy propagandist tactics allowing the dissemination of lies. When Biden's Campaign asked FB to remove an ad with false, unproven slander against Biden, FB responded "grounded in Facebook's fundamental belief in free expression, respect for the democratic process, and belief that in mature democracies with a free press, political speech is already arguably the most scrutinized speech there is." Yes, Facebook, and there is a reason for that: the Trump Administration's spreading of lies and false information is at an all-time high. Your help in spreading false information to influence public opinion poisons the public discourse and chips away at our democracy. A democracy should fight against the spreading of lies and slandering. Zuckerberg is off the rails with this.

How it will be delivered

This petition is regularly emailed/tweeted to the four principals listed above.

Due to tRump's Facebook ads telling people to respond their [phony] census questions, FB actually agreed to take those ads down! Progress!
