Hi. I am leery of Facebook. Now that it backed Trump for 2020, I want to leave. But all my contacts in the industry are on FB. What can we do to migrate to this place? just now like
If you're referring to the FB ad that claimed Zuckerberg was backing Trump - that was a deliberately fake ad placed on FB by Warren's camp to test the FB filtering algorithm for fake news. FB failed the test.
Warren’s camp did so to make a point. Facebook allows politicians to run ads that are not subject to third-party fact-checking. In other words, they allow political ads that are false—lies. If the check paying for the ad doesn’t bounce then that’s all that matters to Facebook. They take money to promote lies. They really should be regulated like a broadcast news network. They like to compare themselves to news networks, but they are not the same nor are they as accountable. They don’t want to be legally liable for their content.

Agreed, Beth.
Well said, Beth.
