Pelosi went after Facebook last year when the platform refused to take down a video that was doctored to make it sound like she was slurring her words.
"I think they have proven — by not taking down something they know is false — that they were willing enablers of the Russian interference in our election," she said in May.

Facebook has come under intense criticism from Democrats for its policy of not fact-checking ads run by politicians -- a policy that Democrats say will benefit Trump's 2020 election campaign.
"They didn't even check on the money from Russian in the last election and everyone thought they should," Pelosi said on Thursday. The comment was likely a reference to the Russian troll group that spent thousands of dollars on Facebook ads targeting Americans in the runup to the 2016 US presidential election.
