Twitter:
Twitter today covenanted to support a proposed parliament bill that would need technology stages that sell advertising space to publish. The source of and amount of money paid for political ads. Called the Honest Ads Act, the bipartisan bill was first submitted back in October by Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), Sen. Sen and Mark Warner (D-VA). John McCain (R-AZ).

And also prevent bad actors from co-opting its stage. Those changes, in permission with the Honest Ads Act, include need advertisers targeting Facebook users over hot-button political matters like gun monitoring to verify their identity and area. Ads also will subject to a “political ad” label. A mix of human controller and artificial intelligence-powered algorithms will scan the site to flag ads that need the label. Sens. Warner and Klobuchar called on Twitter and Google to dedicate to the Honest Ads Act just yesterday in the wake of Facebook’s announcement.

And also eventually provide increased transparency to all advertisements on Twitter. Twitter says the platform will increase transparency for political and so-called problem ads. Which target specific topics like gun and immigration control. By providing even more information on the radix of an ad that needs by the Honest Ads Act.
