Anyone who has done a social media ad for Bloomberg has some serious integrity issues to sort out.

Please explain? Facebook has said politicians can run ads that are false, I'm not sure why paying influencers is all of a sudden a problem.

There's a lot of problems. You may be advertising for a candidate you don't support just for the money. Most of the advertising has nothing to do with policy positions. The money paid isn't disclosed. It manipulates people easily because it's fad chasing and the candidate often isn't even in it. It promotes rampant consumerism, validation, and group pressure. Then again, there's a big problem with Facebook in general. But that's a whole other can of worms.
