His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

But on the whole, we think that Facebook got this right,\" says Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Describing the gray area that political ads often occupy, Wizner added, \"I don't think Facebook is capable of doing effective fact-checking, and I don't think as a society we should want Facebook to be the entity that's making those kinds of distinctions.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the issue, he says, is the massive scale of political ads — not only at the federal, state and local levels in the U.S., but also in every country in which Facebook operates. Wizner predicts that if Facebook took up fact-checking in earnest, it would be inundated with demands from candidates and political campaigns that want the other side's ads taken down, rather than responding to them in public.\u003cbr>\n[pullquote size=\"small\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ben Wizner, director of the ACLU's Speech, Privacy, and Technology Project\"]'It's possible for candidates to send one advertisement to me and a different one to my neighbor across the street.

With targeted ad campaigns, he adds, \"it's possible for candidates to send one advertisement to me and a different one to my neighbor across the street. And so that makes it easier for lies to go uncorrected.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the changes Wizner would like to see: more information from Facebook about which users have been targeted with political ads, so misleading information can be rebutted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"If a candidate is going to run an ad that goes only to men in one neighborhood, or only to women in another, then we should know who the target audience was,\" he says. \"So that if the ad contains falsehoods, we know how to better target our responses and corrections. And Facebook should consider raising the minimum number of targeted audience members for ads — so that we're dealing with a more common political conversation, and not a different one for each household.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FEC's Weintraub has urged tech companies to take an aggressive stand against microtargeting potential voters with ads. In an opinion piece for The Washington Post last November, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2019/11/01/dont-abolish-political-ads-social-media-stop-microtargeting/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Weintraub wrote\u003c/a>, \"Microtargeting by foreign and domestic actors in 2016 proved to be a potent weapon for spreading disinformation and sowing discord.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fears go beyond foreign interference. In recent months, Facebook, Twitter and Google \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/040cae3f6e654e0ab10befb9e46da55f\">refused to remove\u003c/a> a misleading video ad from President Trump’s campaign that targeted Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today’s announcement is more window dressing around their decision to allow paid misinformation,\" said Bill Russo, a campaign spokesman for Biden.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"political-ads\" label=\"Related Coverage\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the 2020 presidential campaign ramps up, Facebook is pushing back on one form of potential misinformation: \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11794395/facebook-issues-new-rules-on-deepfake-videos-targeting-misinformation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">deepfake videos\u003c/a>. The company announced Tuesday it's banning videos that are manipulated to make it appear someone said words they didn't actually say, under certain criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750792/nancy-pelosi-doctored-videos-show-facebook-willing-enablers-of-russians-in-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook allowed\u003c/a> doctored videos of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — which were were slowed down to make her appear drunk — to stay on the social media site even though they were manipulated. The videos were spread by right-wing websites in an attempt to discredit the speaker as she publicly feuded with President Trump, who also shared one of the videos on his Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Facebook promises that its political ad policy will bring \"unprecedented transparency and control for political ads.\" The company plans to add a new control in early summer that will let users cut down on the number of political and social issue ads they see, on both Facebook and Instagram. Its users can also \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1665333080167380?id=176276233019487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">search its Ad Library\u003c/a> for details such as the size of an ad's audience and where those people live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The expanded transparency features will roll out in the first quarter of 2020 and will apply in all countries where we facilitate 'Paid for by' disclaimers on ads,\" Facebook says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those solutions don't satisfy critics who say the platform's users still won't be able to opt out completely and block all political ads. Experts also note that the tools Facebook is giving to its users can be complicated to use and can be easily overlooked as just another \"terms of service\" bulletin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"More transparency and user control over advertising is an undeniably good thing, but this policy still doesn't go far enough,\" says Nina Jankowicz, who studies technology and politics as the disinformation fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jankowicz says that while Facebook is giving people more control of the political ads they see, many users could have trouble navigating its tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many people understand the way microtargeting works, let alone Facebook's Custom Audience feature, which allows advertisers to target on an even more precise level?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jankowicz says Facebook should offer the controls in an easy-to-use design and do more to educate its more than 2 billion users about what the changes mean. And she believes people who are on Facebook should regularly review how their profiles handle politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like democratic discourse, this should be a feature that users are constantly interacting with and adjusting based on their own inclinations and personal experiences on the site,\" she says. \"Based on Facebook's track record with features like these, I'm not sure that's going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Facebook's Leathern discussed the company's ad policy, he also acknowledged those who are unhappy with its practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We recognize this is an issue that has provoked much public discussion — including much criticism of Facebook's position,\" Leathern wrote. \"We are not deaf to that and will continue to work with regulators and policymakers in our ongoing efforts to help protect elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Copyright 2020 NPR.

The company announced Tuesday it's banning videos that are manipulated to make it appear someone said words they didn't actually say, under certain criteria.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11750792/nancy-pelosi-doctored-videos-show-facebook-willing-enablers-of-russians-in-2016\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook allowed\u003c/a> doctored videos of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi — which were were slowed down to make her appear drunk — to stay on the social media site even though they were manipulated. The videos were spread by right-wing websites in an attempt to discredit the speaker as she publicly feuded with President Trump, who also shared one of the videos on his Twitter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Facebook promises that its political ad policy will bring \"unprecedented transparency and control for political ads.\" The company plans to add a new control in early summer that will let users cut down on the number of political and social issue ads they see, on both Facebook and Instagram. Its users can also \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/business/help/1665333080167380?id=176276233019487\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">search its Ad Library\u003c/a> for details such as the size of an ad's audience and where those people live.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The expanded transparency features will roll out in the first quarter of 2020 and will apply in all countries where we facilitate 'Paid for by' disclaimers on ads,\" Facebook says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But those solutions don't satisfy critics who say the platform's users still won't be able to opt out completely and block all political ads. Experts also note that the tools Facebook is giving to its users can be complicated to use and can be easily overlooked as just another \"terms of service\" bulletin.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"More transparency and user control over advertising is an undeniably good thing, but this policy still doesn't go far enough,\" says Nina Jankowicz, who studies technology and politics as the disinformation fellow at the Woodrow Wilson International Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jankowicz says that while Facebook is giving people more control of the political ads they see, many users could have trouble navigating its tools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"How many people understand the way microtargeting works, let alone Facebook's Custom Audience feature, which allows advertisers to target on an even more precise level?\" she asks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jankowicz says Facebook should offer the controls in an easy-to-use design and do more to educate its more than 2 billion users about what the changes mean. And she believes people who are on Facebook should regularly review how their profiles handle politics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Like democratic discourse, this should be a feature that users are constantly interacting with and adjusting based on their own inclinations and personal experiences on the site,\" she says. \"Based on Facebook's track record with features like these, I'm not sure that's going to happen.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Facebook's Leathern discussed the company's ad policy, he also acknowledged those who are unhappy with its practices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We recognize this is an issue that has provoked much public discussion — including much criticism of Facebook's position,\" Leathern wrote. \"We are not deaf to that and will continue to work with regulators and policymakers in our ongoing efforts to help protect elections.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The Associated Press contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
