Facebook, Google and Twitter need to tell Americans what they will do to make sure ads paid for by “foreign entities” like Russia are labeled as such, the senior Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee said ahead of a public hearing with the social media giants.

Americans need to know whether a source of an ad on social media is a foreign entity, and whether it was generated by real individuals rather than false accounts, Senator Mark Warner (D-Virginia), ranking member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, said at a news conference Wednesday. Facebook announced it is increasing authenticity requirements for advertisers, adding over 1,000 people to its ad review staff after claiming it found paid postings on “divisive” social issues that “appeared” to stem from a “Russian entity.”
