Facebook again declines to limit political ad targeting
Despite escalating pressure ahead of the 2020 presidential election, Facebook reaffirmed its freewheeling policy on political ads Thursday, saying it won’t ban them, won’t fact-check them and won’t limit how they can be targeted to specific groups of people. Instead, Facebook said it will offer users slightly more control over how many political ads they see and make its online library of political ads easier to browse. The company said it was guided by the principle that “people should be able to hear from those who wish to lead them, warts and all, and that what they say should be scrutinized and debated in public.”
100 years ago in Spokane: Project to send Pend Oreille River water to Columbia Basin found feasible
A state commission declared that the proposed Columbia Basin irrigation project was perfectly feasible and presented “no serious engineering difficulties,” the Spokane Daily Chronicle reported. No, this was not the Grand Coulee Dam plan, which we know today. This was a grand scheme to take water from the Pend Oreille River and send it 130 miles to a spot south of Ritzville, where it would be distributed to the arid Columbia Basin.
