I care deeply about the democratic process and protecting it's integrity.

That's not what we stand for.
And this morning, I directed our team to prove the ads we've found to congress as well.
Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerburg announced the company will turn over three thousands ads purchased by fake accounts linked to Russia, that may have influenced the outcome of the 2016 US election.
He said Facebook conducted an internal investigation that revealed nearly $100,000 had been spent on election ads from these accounts.
In a live broadcast Zuckerberg laid out a nine point plan to prevent election interference in the future.

Zuckerberg seems to have done a 180 from his comments soon after the November elections.
Personally, I think the idea that

Influence to the election in any way, I think, is a pretty crazy idea.
