Facebook said last month that it believed people in Russia bought about 3,000 politically divisive ads on its network in the United States in the months before and after the November U.S. presidential election. Since its disclosure, Facebook has faced questions and calls for increased U.S. regulation from U.S. authorities. Facebook believes Russia bought over 3,000 ads before and after the 2016 U.S election. In a statement on Monday, Facebook said it would add more than 1,000 people over the next year and invest more in software to flag and take down ads automatically. Facebook hopes its extra employees will help in flagging and automatically removing unwanted Facebook ads.
