Talking point: The rules are meant to limit the spread of disinformation via user-owned Facebook pages. Facebook also said Monday it had suspended four disinformation campaigns—three of which were Iran-based, and one in Russia—that were targeting users in the U.S., North Africa and Latin America. While the company is trying to show it’s getting a handle on its disinformation problem, it’s still being criticized for allowing political candidates to lie in their Facebook ads—a policy CEO Mark Zuckerberg has defended as preserving free speech.
