Facebook's political ad verification tool goes global

Facebook is making its transparency tools for political ads globally available, more than a year after rolling out the first iteration of the tool in the US following the Cambridge Analytics scandal. 
Starting Tuesday (25 June), ads on Facebook around social issues, elections or politics appearing in 140 countries and territories will have a "paid for by" disclaimer and sit in Facebook's Ad Library archive for seven years. 
The tool is already available in 50 countires and territories.
