U.S. Lawmakers Release Russian-Bought Facebook Ads

Description

U.S. lawmakers released a batch of Russian-bought Facebook ads on Wednesday, which showcased the politically charged content allegedly spread on social media by Moscow ahead of the 2016 U.S. election. Some of the ads criticized candidates, while others sought to organize or promote rallies for opposite sides of divisive issues. The sample posted on a House committee website pulled from the roughly three thousand ads, that Facebook provided to congressional investigators last month.
