The progressive lawmaker confronted Zuckerberg this week over Facebook’s political ad policy during a House hearing. She asked him a series of questions about what type of hypothetical ads candidates would be allowed to run on the platform. 

Asked if he would “take down lies,” Zuckerberg responded that it “depends on the context.”

The social media company’s policy came under scrutiny after it refused to take down a Trump campaign ad that accuses Democratic candidate Joe Biden of corruption without evidence. 

The Hill has reached out to Facebook for comment on Ocasio-Cortez’s Saturday tweets.
