As fallout from the Cambridge Analytica scandal continues, Facebook has rolled out a new authorization process designed to deter political ads and official Facebook accounts that intend to disrupt elections. In order to be verified, anyone wanting to run political ads now has to fork over the last four digits of their Social Security number, a government ID, and a residential mailing address. Facebook officials on Tuesday briefed House Democratic Caucus staffers on the new authorization process to run political ads and official Facebook accounts on the social media platform, telling the press aides that beginning this summer, every page admin for both organic content and ads must be authorized through the two-week verification process available now. (This is assuming all congressional Facebook accounts fall under the rules for political and top-followed accounts.)

An invitation to the meeting, titled “Expanding Your Audience with Facebook Ads,” said the briefing was on “best practices for running Ads on official accounts.” In a back-and-forth with Facebook officials, some aides expressed concern over giving the social media platform their personal information and asked how their privacy would be protected and why the change was necessary, according to Democratic staffers who were at the meeting. “It’s a huge overreach by Facebook,” one Democratic aide told The Intercept. “They’re going to solve the problem by collecting more data? To figure out if I’m a bot?” A Facebook spokesperson said the company would not repurpose the information it collects to verify an advertiser and that the information is deleted after authorization is complete.
