Over the weekend, Facebook removed a false ad from its site that stated that Sen. Lindsey Graham supported the Green New Deal. Here’s how Facebook’s fact-checking policy works.
The ad came days after Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez grilled Zuckerberg on whether Facebook would permit her to run such an ad, during a congressional hearing on Wednesday.
Senator Graham's office said on Friday that it was aware of the ad and confirmed the senator opposes the Green New Deal, a proposal championed by Ocasio-Cortez that would eliminate U.S. greenhouse gas emissions within a decade. On Friday, Facebook started to test Facebook News, a new section of its mobile app dedicated to "high-quality news." But the company came under fire from some political activists over its decision to include right-wing news website Breitbart News as one of its Facebook News publishers.
