U.S. Congress Questions Facebook’s Advertising Policy

The United States House of Representatives on Monday questioned the CEO of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, about the social network’s policies regarding ads directed towards gun accessories and protective equipment, Reuters reported.

The claim is that ads about weapons were placed next to content that amplified election misinformation and news about the riot that stormed the Capitol on January 6.

“Targeting ads in this way is dangerous and has the potential to encourage acts of violence,” read a statement by 23 House Democrats.
