House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) slammed tech giant Facebook on Thursday, accusing the social media company of abusing technology to mislead users and calling its behavior "shameful."
“The Facebook business model is strictly to make money. They don't care about the impact on children, they don't care about truth, they don't care about where this is all coming from, and they have said even if they know it's not true they will print it,” Pelosi said at a press conference.
“I think they have been very abusive of the great opportunity that technology has given them,” she added.
Pelosi’s comments came in response to a question about whether Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg or other tech executives, largely based in or near Pelosi’s San Francisco-area district, have too much power. Facebook has at least one office in Pelosi’s district.
Facebook has defended its policy to allow ads with false information as an effort to promote free speech on its platform.
“I think what they have said, very blatantly, very clearly, is that they intend to be accomplices for misleading the American people with money from god knows where,” Pelosi said Thursday.
“They have been very irresponsible … I think their behavior is shameful,” she added.

FB should not be in the position of fact checking political ads. One man's truth is another person's truthiness.
Much of political truth is in the eye of the beholder.
FB should promote political free speech,unlike Google & Twitter

A lie doesn't become the truth, wrong doesn't become right, and evil doesn't become good just because it is accepted by a majority.
