[$$] News Organizations Flag Concerns on Facebook’s Political-Ad Rules
A trade group representing news organizations raised concerns in a letter to Facebook Inc. that the company’s rules on political ads are overly broad and could affect their ability to promote stories on the social network. The News Media Alliance, whose nearly 2,000 members include Wall Street Journal parent Dow Jones & Co., the New York Times, the Washington Post and many small papers, say Facebook’s rules would cause advertisements that promote news stories to be lumped in with political messaging. Facebook’s new guidelines, which will go into effect this month, will categorize ad spending on topics such as U.S. poverty, immigration and terrorism as political advertisements.

Europe's new data and privacy rules take effect a week from Friday, clarifying individual rights to the personal data collected by companies around the world for targeted advertising and other purposes.
