Business Insider: A top Biden staffer accused Facebook of 'shredding the fabric of our democracy' — yet another sign the social-media giant should fear the new administration
* Bill Russo, a top advisor on President-elect Joe Biden's press team, on Monday published a series of tweets tearing into Facebook for the disinformation that has spread on its platform since Election Day.
* Russo on Sunday also posted a retweet — which was swiftly deleted — that suggested the Biden administration might target Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg.
* Russo's more recent Twitter thread suggests Facebook may have a tough four years dealing with the Biden administration.
* Biden said in January that he wanted to revoke Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, a part of US law that grants sweeping liability protections to tech companies for content posted on their platforms.

WNU Editor: The Democrat's in Congress and the Biden administration are not going to go after Facebook. Facebook is a huge contributor to the Democrat Party. Their executives were large contributors to the Biden campaign. Facebook funded a $100 million campaign to "get out the vote" that essentially helped Democrats. And Facebook has been very effective in suppressing critical stories of Joe Biden (like the Hunter Biden scandal) from spreading on its platform. It makes no sense to me that they would risk all of that unless this is all just a pressure tactic to force Facebook to limit and/or ban all individuals and groups critical of Joe Biden and the Democrats.
