Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg met with civil rights leaders at his home Monday night amid the ongoing controversy about Facebook’s policy of allowing politicians to lie in political advertisements, as well as its role in facilitating election interference and housing discrimination. In an open letter ahead of the meeting, Kristen Clarke, president of the national Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, wrote to Zuckerberg: “You are using First Amendment values as a smokescreen to mask harmful policy decisions that Facebook is making to advance its corporate self-interest.” Clarke also cc’d Attorney General of the United States William Barr.
