Should all messages across Facebook's platforms be encrypted?
Privacy experts are concerned about Facebook’s encryption plans.
Mark Zuckerberg faced an intense examination from Democratic lawmaker Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez on Wednesday.
She was investigating Facebook’s connection to Cambridge Analytica, and their policies regarding political advertising.
Some have lauded her stance and her conduct.
Some have shown discontent with her approach and the fact she did not let Zuckerberg finish his sentences before moving on.
However, the main line of argument is disinformation versus freedom of speech.
Mark Zuckerberg argues that Facebook shouldn't be taking down political adverts which contain lies because we should be able to see when politicians are lying to us.

That argument only works if you can guarantee that the correction reaches more people than the original lie. https://t.co/cDx7kqCKgb
So seems @AOC is being cheered today because of an exchange with Mark Zuckerberg where she basically says the people are too stupid & will believe anything you tell them and it’s Facebooks job to police freedom of speech. Wow. The land of democracy everyone. #ZuckerbergTestimony

Do you believe it is Facebook’s responsibility to fact-check adverts, and take them down if deemed false?
