Facebook Adds Fuel to the Fire of Anti-Russian Frenzy

According to Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg, his company will submit to US congressional investigators the contents of 3,000 political ads bought by “entities linked to the Russian government” to sway the 2016 US election. The statement was made after the damaging revelation that shadowy buyers bought the ads and targeted them at US users between 2015 and 2017. Under pressure from Congress, in particular, Mark Warner, Vice Chair of Senate Intelligence Committee, to do more to prevent the use of Facebook for election manipulation, Zuckerberg said he supported the investigation by the Congress.
