allows false political ads. in a speech just two weeks ago after zuckerberg's meeting with trump, facebook's head of policy and communications nick clegg said we don't believe it's a appropriate role for us to prevent speech from reaching its audience. that's why facebook exempts politicians from our third party fact checking program. warren has announced a plan to break up facebook and other tech giants. monday she pointed out that facebook helped trump get elected in the first place in 2016, in part by allowing russian trolls to run rampant on the platform. this time she said they're going further by taking deliberate steps to help one candidate intentionally mislead the american people. she noted some of the same ads running on facebook have been rejected from networks because they have so patently false. i'm joined by a man who has done great recording on this, jeg legham, founder and writer of popular information. he covers politics and power and research director for hillary clinton's campaign back in 2008.
