Today, Mark Zuckerberg came to Congress. And got GRILLED by progressive
Congresswomen AOC and Katie Porter.

by donating $3 to their re-election campaigns today?

When AOC took the floor, she SCORCHED Zuckerberg... forcing him many times
to admit that Facebook would allow lies to be published by politicians in
their ads.

AOC: You announced recently that the official policy of Facebook now
allows politicians to pay to spread disinformation in 2020 election asks
in the future. So I just want to know how far I can push this in the next
year. Under your policy using census data as well, could I pay to target
black zip codes and advertise them the incorrect election date?

Zuckerberg: No, Congresswoman, you couldn't. We have even for these
policies around the newsworthiness of content that politicians say and the
general principle that I believe --

AOC: But you said you're not going to fact check my ads?

Zuckerberg: If anyone including a politician is saying things that can
cause violence or could risk imminent physical harm or voter or census
suppression, we roll out the census suppression policy. We will take that
content down.

AOC: So you will -- there is some threshold you will fact check political
advertisements. Is that what you're telling me?

Zuckerberg: Congresswoman, yes, for specific things like that, where
there's risk of harm.

AOC: Would I be able to run advertisements on Facebook targeting
Republicans in primaries saying they voted for the Green New Deal? If
you're not fact checking political advertisements? I’m trying to
understand the bounds here of what's fair game.

Zuckerberg: I don't know the answer to that off the top of my head.

AOC: You don't know if I'll be able to do that. Do you see a potential
problem here with a complete lack of fact checking on political
advertisements?

Zuckerberg: Congresswoman, I think lying is bad. I think if you were to
run an ad that had a lie that would be bad. That's different from it being
-- in our position, the right thing to prevent your constituents or people
in an election from seeing that you had lied.

Katie Porter flipped a red seat in 2018 and will have one of the most
well-funded Republican challengers in the nation. AOC just got a
Democratic primary challenger a few days ago, a young woman of color,
meaning she will have to run a real race to keep this seat.
