Facebook will bring in new ad transparency measures, CTO says
Facebook will introduce new measures to boost transparency around adverts in Britain by June this year and require political ads to be clearly labeled, the firm's Chief Technology Officer told a British parliamentary committee.

Facebook has said that the personal information of about 87 million users might have been improperly shared with political consultancy Cambridge Analytica, which worked on Donald Trump's 2016 presidential election campaign.
