Trevor Potter, a former Republican chairman of the Federal Election Commission, said Facebook should tell the public directly.
“Public disclosure of all information related to these 3,000 advertisements is necessary so that all of us understand how this occurred, and we can ensure that policies – both at Facebook and from the government – are in place to ensure this does not happen again,” Potter said in a statement.
