Mark Zuckerberg has left D.C., but politicians want more from him. Sen. Mark Warner wants sent a letter to the Facebook CEO late Monday asking him to reconsider his company's policy that allows politicians and elected officials to run false and misleading paid advertisements on the platform. Facebook's policy to allow politicians and elected officials to promote false and misleading ads came under scrutiny earlier this month after the Trump 2020 campaign promoted a series of ads containing false information about his political opponent, former Vice President Joe Biden. The topic was much discussed earlier this month when Zuckerberg appeared before Congress to testify on Facebook's plans to launch the libra cryptocurrency.

"I think individuals need to know what data is being collected about us ... [and] what that data value is," Warner said on "Closing Bell." I think consumers have a right to know what their data is worth." The U.S. needs to set national standards for well-known social media companies that make a profit on material that the public provides to them, he said. Warner said it's a part of a series of bills he plans to introduce to build "guardrails around social media companies." Companies would have to report it on a quarterly basis and it could bring more competition to the social media market, he added.
