Facebook is making changes to advertising and plans to add more than 1,000 people to review advertisements that run on the platform in the wake of a congressional investigation into Russia’s involvement in the 2016 U.S. election.
Facebook said Monday that it provided information on about 3,000 ads to congressional investigators. In September, the social media giant disclosed that accounts affiliated with Russia bought more than $100,000 in election-related ads. That disclosure prompted a congressional probe, which now includes Twitter and Alphabet Inc.’s Google. The companies have been asked to testify before the Senate on Nov. 1.
