New Movie "Rigged: The Zuckerberg Funded Plot to Defeat Donald Trump" (Watch Trailer)

That is a limit on direct funding of campaigns or candidates. As citizens united vs FEC ruled, corporations as citizens have 1st amendment rights to spend unlimited funds on election issues, not politicians.
If Zuckerberg was funding "get out the vote", that's protected by Citizens United v FEC.

There is a difference between "donating money" and "actively buying an election outcome".
 
On the other hand they made about half a dozen anti-Nixon movies that still run whenever a democrat administration gets in trouble ...
Those anti-Nixon movies were actually anti-corruption, anti-bribery, anti-political abuse movies. They're no different from "Helter Skelter"
If shouldn't do the crime, if you don't want them to make a movie of the week about it.

Citizens United Explained

The 2010 Supreme Court decision further tilted political influence toward wealthy donors and corporations.

January 21, 2020 will mark a decade since the Supreme Court’s ruling in Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, a controversial decision that reversed century-old campaign finance restrictions and enabled corporations and other outside groups to spend unlimited funds on elections.

A 5–4 majority of the Supreme Court sided with Citizens United, ruling that corporations and other outside groups can spend unlimited money on elections.
