Facebook Chief Operating Officer Sheryl Sandberg doubled down on the firm’s stance on political advertising late on Wednesday, saying that the firm allows the ads on free speech grounds even though they don’t bring in much revenue and cause huge hassle.

  • Twitter just jabbed Facebook by banning all political ads: ‘We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought’
  • Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Elizabeth Warren got behind the Facebook employees slamming Mark Zuckerberg for allowing lies in political ads
  • An activist is running for California governor so he can run deliberately false ads on Facebook
