Facebook aims to curb election interference in India
- Thursday | 17th January, 2019
For individuals buying political ads, Facebook said it would ensure their listed name matches government-issued documents. Buying Facebook ads can widen the audience for such material, but some of those influence efforts may violate election rules and the company’s policies. Under pressure from authorities around the world, Facebook last year introduced several initiatives to increase oversight of political ads. In addition, ad libraries in some countries will not include what the company calls “issue” ads, Leathern said. That means extra steps to verify identities and locations of political ad buyers in the United States and India will not be introduced in every big election this year, Leathern said.
