That's quite the euphemism for subverting democracy at the hands of authoritarian regimes.

What entity are you accusing of "subverting democracy at the hands of authoritarian regimes"?

Is it Facebook? Is that because they aren't fighting fake news well enough? Is it because they are still accepting political ads without reviewing each one before it is posted?

Who do you want to put in charge of reviewing all posts on all platforms before they are allowed to be published?

What platform is doing better at this than Facebook right now?

Traditional media has always fact checked political ads. If Facebook can't do it, that's a sign to me that they're too big to responsibly sell political ads. If Facebook is so powerful that too much power would reside in the hands of their fact checkers, that's a sign they should be broken up.

What about user posts, and not paid political ads?

Why, yes.

Thanks for clearing that up. Interesting. Can you address the other questions as well?
