M.O.B. Votes:

Some are criticizing Facebook for not vetting political ads for accuracy and truthfulness.

Twitter decided as of Nov 22nd, no political ads (side issue: what will be a political post vs a political ad?).

Question: were TV & radio political ads vetted like some are criticizing that Facebook should?

It is my recollection that TV & radio ads are not vetted.

Personally, if you buy into bogus conspiracy theories on social media, your stupidity is your own. Ain’t nobody going to protect you from yourself.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Accredited studies have shown negative ads sway - Ace AU - 10/31 08:13:22

Done by the same people who routinely slant polls. - RHAYWORTH MU - 10/31 08:38:29

That's interesting. I never really noticed ads on Facebook. - Freeglider USA - 10/31 08:16:01

I think it is more about recognition than actually swaying - DHighlander NWMSU - 10/31 08:27:30
