Facebook Rules for Political Advertising Globally

San Francisco: Facebook has rolled out its transparency tools globally for advertisers wanting to place ads about social issues, elections or politics.

The social networking platform already requires that advertisers get authorized and add disclaimers to political ads in over 50 countries and territories, including in India. “Now we’re expanding proactive enforcement on these ads to countries where elections or regulations are approaching,” Sarah Schiff said.

As part of the authorization process for advertisers, FB confirms their ID and allows them to disclose who is responsible for the ad. (IANS)
