>Facebook was used to illegally influence elections
yes, the electoral commission found that. sadly its only able to issue a tiny fine. Not only that its being eroded by populists from both sides of the political spectrum. Its not really a facebook problem but an EC one.
This transgression was found by going over the accounts, not by leaks.
> A TV ad, by comparison, is aired publically and you can see it and ask who paid for it.
political TV ads are illegal in the UK. Long may it continue.
We are also supposing that facebook adverts are actually effective. They have the power to somehow corrupt a morally "good" person into someone that votes for the "other side". This is plainly nonsense.
The real issue is that facebook is a warped mirror of society. without rules and order, chaos and bad actors reign. This means "censorship" or if it were treated as the press, editorial standards.
