It looks like Facebook knows who's behind a shadowy ad campaign to torpedo Theresa May's Brexit deal — but it's keeping it under wraps
Facebook is under renewed pressure to reveal who is behind a shadowy campaign to torpedo UK Prime Minister Theresa May's Brexit deal.
Facebook has now written to the UK's Information Commissioner's Office with more details, according to an influential lawmaker, but the information remains confidential. The Digital, Culture, Media, and Sport Committee — a parliamentary committee that last month published a damning report on Facebook privacy and disinformation —It found that a mysterious organisation called Mainstream Network spent £257,000 on ads asking users to write to their MPs calling on them to vote against May's Brexit deal. The committee found that the ads had reached up to 11 million people over a 10-month period.
