We said last fall that we’re building a new process to verify the identity and location of advertisers running election ads on FB. Today we are announcing three additional initiatives in our work to safeguard elections (1/4)
newsroom.fb.com/news/2018/04/t…
We are expanding our definition of a political ad to include not just ads that refer to the election, but also ads that discuss important political issues. (2/4)
All political ads will be searchable for 4 years in an archive which will include data about the price the advertiser paid, the number of impressions the ad received and the demographics of people who saw the ad (3/4)
We are also expanding our verification effort to include pages with large followings, even if they are not running ads. (4/4)

Today we are announcing the launch of new features to protect the integrity of elections on Facebook and Instagram including our new political ad archive. facebook.com/politicalconte… <1/5>
Starting today, US advertisers must include a “paid for by” label on all political and issue ads. You can learn more about the details in our ads policies. facebook.com/policies/ads/r…
We are also launching an archive where anyone can search and analyze political and issue ads. Watchdog groups and concerned citizens alike can now see ad spend, ad impressions, and the demographics and locations of people who saw each ad: facebook.com/politicalconte… (3/5)

Very excited to see the Mueller indictment today. We shared Russian ads with Congress, Mueller and the American people to help the public understand how the Russians abused our system. Still, there are keys facts about the Russian actions that are still not well understood.
Most of the coverage of Russian meddling involves their attempt to effect the outcome of the 2016 US election. I have seen all of the Russian ads and I can say very definitively that swaying the election was *NOT* the main goal.
The majority of the Russian ad spend happened AFTER the election. We shared that fact, but very few outlets have covered it because it doesn’t align with the main media narrative of Tump and the election. newsroom.fb.com/news/2017/10/h…

In today’s article, @fmanjoo chose to ignore how important online advertising has become for small businesses to grow and succeed. He didn’t print that part of my quote, so I’m sharing the whole quote here
We worked with @USChamber to explore this, and found:
- 84% of small businesses in the US use at least 1 major digital platform to provide info to customers
- 80% use at least 1 digital platform to show products and services, as well as to advertise
uschamber.com/series/above-t…
We know that when ad targeting is used well, it makes advertising better. It connects people to products and services, grows businesses, creates jobs, and helps the economy. Millions of businesses – the majority of them small businesses – use Facebook and Instagram ads to grow.

I posted about this last night: ICE had left more than 400 migrants at the Greyhound Station in El Paso on Sunday and on Christmas Eve.
Today, they dropped off an additional 500. The community was given no warning or time to prepare. n.pr/2Q02z33
If you would like to donate to help, here is an organization on the ground:

This LGBTQ organization in El Paso is also helping migrants:

Hi there, fellow genealogists and historians!

Did you know that archivists at @NARA_RecMgmt -- yes, the very National Archives we all know and love -- may become complicit in helping ICE destroy millions of records of rapes, solitary confinement, and deaths in ICE custody?
ICE, like all government agencies, generates tons of records. They also have a records retention schedule, saying how long they have to hold onto old records, and when they can start destroying them.

Last year, ICE submitted a request to NARA to change their retention schedule.
ICE wants to start destroying more of its "old" records, including even the records of abuse and rape and death, far sooner than most other government agencies (including the military!) do for similar record sets.

And initially, the archivists at NARA signed off on this change!

#Today's story to #EndFamilySeparation Four months ago, Dad and 4-month-old entered at the Texas/Mexico border and requested #asylum. Dad and child were immediately separated and the baby put in ORR custody. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Dad was detained in a #Texas detention center where @RAICESTEXAS consulted. Dad accepted a deportation to be quickly reunited w/ his infant child. However, the Dad was deported & NOT his child. The now 8-month-old baby has been in ORR custody for 4 months. #EndFamilySeparation
The Mom and Dad now have once weekly Skype calls with their 8-month-old baby. That's right, folks. They Skype with an infant. #EndFamilySeparation #FamiliesBelongTogether

And who said: "unconditional direct income support to farmers is manifestly absurd in today’s world when it maintains uncompetitive farming practices that have negative implications for the climate, the environment or people’s health"?

We now know that Cambridge Analytica harvested data on 50Million people from Facebook. Additionally, C-A had data on approximately 230 million people. It used this data to influence the outcome of US elections, BEFORE the 2016. Stay woke. 1/

<THREAD>

amp.theguardian.com/news/2018/mar/…@
A simple background on Cambridge Analytica: C-A is owned by Robert Mercer, a major financier behind the GOP. Steve Bannon is a 'previous' board member and was VP at one time. 2/

Bannon sold his Cambridge Analytica stake just last fall and was fined for his late ethics report. 3/

#New PA cong. map increases D chance of winning the House majority by 4%. They only need a 6.8% generic ballot margin now (down from 7.7) to be favored.

Diff. will be closer to 10% in Nov when uncertainty from polls is ⬇️. Redraw is a very big deal.

One major reason the new PA map is such a big gain for Democrats is that it solidifies, not just tips, PA districts in Philly burbs. Also creates one additional vulnerable R district. (Easily seen in this map made by @JMilesColeman)
My forecasting model will have new PA map in the near future. This is not just a simple switch; it’s a coding redesign, restructuring of input, & drawing new geographic files. Takes a while (for me, a student).

In the meantime, just add 3-4% to the model: bit.ly/2018_house
