1. This Trump campaign Facebook ad, which says there is ten minutes left to enter a contest to have dinner with Trump, has been running for DAYS

Facebook told me it doesn't violate their policy against false and misleading ads

2. The Facebook spokesperson didn't really try to explain why this clearly false ad didn't violate the rules

The main point was that two Democratic candidates, Gillibrand and Castro, were also running ads with fake deadlines

That doesn't make it better

3. The actual problem is that Facebook is putting profits ahead of enforcing its rules.

The Trump campaign isn't alone but they take advantage of Facebook's permissiveness more than anyone else

4. I've documented hundreds Trump ads that violate Facebook's rules. The company usually turns a blind eye.

I will keep scrutinizing Facebook because it's a critical part of the 2020 campaign
