Facebook Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg said on a conference
call with analysts on Thursday that political advertising on his
platform is more transparent than on any other medium.
He said ahead of the presidential election, Facebook ran the
largest voting information campaign in U.S. history and estimated
that the platform helped 4.4 million people register to vote.
Mr. Zuckerberg said Facebook had blocked new political and
social ads from running as of Tuesday until after Election Day. If
someone tries to declare victory in an ad, Facebook will put an
indication label on the top of the ad noting that the outcome is
still undecided.
Next week will certainly be a test for Facebook, Mr. Zuckerberg
said, adding that election integrity is and will be an ongoing
challenge for his company.
