In a column for the conservative Bulwark, senior editor Jim Swift claimed that Facebook is still allowing fake news about an election to be disseminated to targeted users despite executives insisting that they have cleaned up their act after the 2020 presidential election.

Case in point, Swift began by explaining that he fits the profile that is a preferred target for conservative-leaning news producers -- real or not -- and that Tuesday's election in Virginia is the current hot topic.

Explaining, "I'm what you would think would be a prototypical Glenn Youngkin voter: a white male around 40 with a near-perfect voting frequency and obvious signs that throughout my voting life, I've been a Republican. That is the kind of publicly accessible information that can be hoovered up by anyone building databases for advertising campaigns," Swift claimed he was on the receiving end of an advertisement on Facebook from "Old Dominion News."

1. Yea. It's a marketing decision

Made voluntarily.

By having the company name, and the primary product be called by different names opens up other avenues for Facebook products.

The decision was certainly made to INCREASE their reach and wealth. Not limit it.
