Elizabeth Warren Trolls Facebook In New Ad

"A days-long feud between Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Facebook intensified over the weekend as Warren openly accused the company of "taking money to promote lies."

Warren, a leading Democratic 2020 candidate, has taken aim at the social media giant over its role in spreading disinformation against her and other candidates. Her campaign ran an ad on Facebook this past week that contained a deliberate lie to draw further attention to the issue.

That provocative move came after a recording leaked earlier this month of CEO Mark Zuckerberg telling employees that a Warren presidency would "suck" for the company.

Facebook fired back at Warren over the weekend via another social media platform, Twitter, where the company compared itself to broadcast television stations that ran the Trump ad and are regulated by the Federal Communications Commission."*

This would be a perfect time to discuss Bernie’s more coherent strategy: a plan to break up media monopolies.

[mysticalfeline]

Glad the guy on the left was able to hop in and get a word in edgewise.

[Croton]

“Like.. like, like. Like, like like. Like. Like like... like.” All I can hear now that I’ve noticed it. So. Many. Filler words.

[realprogressive]

Good for Warren. It is about time someone hold this out of control organization accountable.

[seeteasea]

I’m normally quite hard on Brooke on DR videos but she kicked that idiot in the middle around that studio, well done, she was solid in this video!

[demonhunterC]

Facebook always suppresses liberal content, but trumps nonsense gets the “let’s be fair to everyone” bullshit.

[Wardemonxi]

Maybe facebook should not run ads from political groups or pacs at all?

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO SAVE OUR REPUBLIC

[AnandChakraborty]

Brooke really likes using the word “like”...

[RichardMedhurst]

Dude you guys literally copied my title lol. I covered this a few days ago

[DoktorSativa]

How many times was the word 'like' used?

[JaredOLantern]

How many times can Brooke Thomas say "like" in a 13 minute clip?

[trondyne]

Brooke said "Like" like 462 times... Can take the girl out of the Valley but can't take the Valley out of the girl....

Disinformation MUST be determined by a neutral source.

We've already seen sites that are supposed to fact check independently, but bend the information to support a political Ideology.

Looking at you, Snopes.

Facebook was started to RATE the girls on campus. Rating and ranking people on superficial attributes i.e. skin color, sex, religion is THE MOST republican trait. Zuckerberg is NOT A LIBERAL !!!

[laurenbray]

This isn't a good thing. We cannot have corporations deciding what the truth is and who is allowed to put campaign ads on their platform. That will get corrupt and biased real quick!

[hitchensghost]

I'm wondering like, could Brooke like, stop saying like, 'like' as much? Like, it's getting annoying, like, you know...

[arguseyed]

So you want facebook to decide what is a lie and what isnt? I thought you want to take away their political power.

[ahmadrezahajsaeedi]

Brook's hacky politics is so annoying

[AlejoGloving]

Tyt has become so empty of substance and context. This used to be where I would actually come to get informed about the influence of corporate power. Now I feel dumber just watching it. Still a member and still trust some of the hosts. But this superficial commentary has to go. Please.
