While Facebook has already begun requiring political advertisers to provide identification to confirm who they are and where they are located, the new policy requires more information to show they are registered with the US government.     This new verification can be done by submitting a tax identification number or proof that the group is registered with the Federal Election Commission. “People should know who is trying to influence their vote and advertisers shouldn’t be able to cover up who is paying for ads,” a Facebook blog post said. The new steps call for “strengthening the authorization process for US...
