Those commercials generally include a disclaimer, sometimes delivered by the candidate, identifying the ad&rsquo;s sponsor.<\/p><p>Under the rules, it&rsquo;s up to the advertiser &ndash; not the social media platform &ndash; to make the required disclosure.<\/p><p>&ldquo;Insufficient disclaimers can be minor technicalities, not necessarily evidence of intent to deceive,&rdquo; ProPublica said. &ldquo;But the pervasiveness of the lapses ProPublica found suggests a larger problem that may raise concerns about the upcoming midterm elections &mdash; that political advertising on the world&rsquo;s largest social network isn&rsquo;t playing by rules intended to protect the public.&rdquo;<\/p><p>The social media companies have resisted suggestions that their political ads should be more closely regulated, even as the FEC&nbsp; contemplates additional rules. Meanwhile, three senators have introduced the Honest Ads Act, which would write disclosure regulations into federal law and require each digital platform to main a database &ndash; accessible online &ndash; of&nbsp; political ads and advertisers.<\/p><p>###<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p><p class=\"MsoNormal\">&nbsp;<\/p><\/p>"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
