REUTERS: Facebook Inc is tightening its political ad rules in the United States, it said on Wednesday, requiring new disclosures for its site and photo-sharing platform Instagram ahead of the U.S. presidential election in November 2020.
Since May 2018, Facebook has required political advertisers in the United States to put a"paid for by" disclaimer on their ads. But the company said some had used misleading disclaimers or tried to register as organizations which did not exist."In 2018 we did see evidence of misuse in these disclaimers and so this is our effort to strengthen the process," said Sarah Schiff, product manager at Facebook.
Paid Facebook ads have become a major tool for political campaigns and other organizations to target voters. To get a"confirmed organization" label, advertisers must submit a Federal Election Commission ID number, tax-registered organization ID number, or government website domain matching an official email.
