Facebook Says It Won’t Back Down From Allowing Lies in Political Ads
By Mike Isaac and Cecilia Kang
Defying pressure from Congress, Facebook said that it would continue to allow political campaigns to use the site to target advertisements to particular slices of the electorate and that it would not police the truthfulness of the messages sent out.

In a blog post, a company official echoed Facebook’s earlier calls for lawmakers to set firm rules.
