Meta in trouble over campaign adverts
 

Found guilty of campaign finance transparency laws

Facebook has been found guilty in Washington of breaking the state's strict campaign finance transparency laws.

King County Superior Court ruled that not only had the Facebook parent company violated Washington's political ad statutes, but that it had done so intentionally on hundreds of occasions.

Under the law Facebook must maintain records of political campaign ads hosted on their platforms, including costs, sponsors, and targeting information. However, according to Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson Facebook's ad library includes some, but not all, of the data Washington state requires it to include.
