Facebook to handover 3,000 Russian-related ads to Congress


Facebook officials will meet with House and Senate intelligence committees Monday to hand over more than 3,000 ads that ran during the 2016 presidential election that were linked to a Russian ad agency. Facebook said the ads addressed social and political issues and ran between 2015 and 2017. On Sept. 21, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg announced that the company would hand over the ads to Congress and take measures to ensure that political ads that appear on the site are more transparent. Several lawmakers — including Virginia Sen. Mark Warner, the top Democrat on the Senate intelligence panel — have said they believe the American public should see them. "As a general rule, we are limited in what we can discuss publicly about law enforcement investigations, so we may not always be able to share our findings publicly," Zuckerberg said.
