On Tues­day, the Amer­i­can Prin­ci­ples Project (APP) filed a Fed­er­al Elec­tion Com­mis­sion (FEC) com­plaint against Face­book, claim­ing the social media com­pa­ny broke the law by cen­sor­ing an APP PAC ad attack­ing Joe Biden and Sen. Gary Peters (D‑Mich.). The ad slammed their sup­port for a law that would force bio­log­i­cal girls to com­pete with bio­log­i­cal boys. Even though Poli­ti­Fact could find no fac­tu­al error in the ad, the “fact-check” claimed the ad was “miss­ing con­text” because it con­tra­dict­ed Biden’s trans­gen­der agen­da. Face­book used this “fact-check” to flag the ad.
