with swaying the election.

Presidential races spend around $1 billion in ads each. TV alone gets 100s of millions worth. FB is saying that they sold $100 thousand dollars worth of ads. There is no way that those ads swayed anything and 90% of those ads had nothing to do with either Hillary or Trump.

So this is a red herring and the politicians know it. This whole circus is just for show. And frankly I think FB is behind the show. They want to limit ads they don’t like.
