We're one of 32 signatories calling on Facebook to swiftly and completely implement the transparency measures they have promised users ahead of #EP2019.

Dear @facebook: Do your part against disinformation. Today, Mozilla and *32* of our allies are publishing an open letter to Facebook. We’re demanding they make good on their promise to combat disinformation before the 2019 EU elections. Our full letter: mzl.la/fbopenletter

Our collaboration with @WhoTargetsMe helped us get a more transparent election in Sweden. Restricting the use of data will restrict us from making the EP-election more transparent. Stop targeting transparency initiatives, Facebook!

Without @WhoTargetsMe our project would not have existed. Facebook are now trying to block this and other community led transparency tools from existing. This is not good enough. Cc @EamonRyan @willgoodbody @colettebrowne @markscott82

Another transparent step in the right direction. Google to release details of the total amount spent on ads relating to #8thRef, the number of ads and the number of times those ads were seen by people. thetimes.co.uk/article/google…

Win! UK government has banned the term “f*ke news” after urging ministers to use “misinformation” or "disinformation" instead. Phrase "f*ke news* will no longer appear in policy documents or because it is “poorly-defined and misleading term" officials say. telegraph.co.uk/technology/201…

Twitter have a new tool, available now in Ireland, that lets you see all of the ads/ promoted tweets an account has paid for in the last 7 days - a more comprehensive feature that @Facebook's "view ads". The story it paints of #Aras18 is more tumbleweeds than thunderdome...
