While FB should know their own data, they are not above pushing their own agenda, subtly, or overtly. I say if the ads were truthful, then there is no real issue outside of the political position FB itself takes.

I'm sure the $150,000 made all the difference in the total campaign spending of $1.85 BILLION.

GRAPES is a Community policy, not an editorial one.
