Big mistake on Facebook shortly before the election in Great Britain
Two days before the general election in Great Britain, political ads have suddenly become untraceable in Facebook's advertising database. A Facebook spokesperson said in a statement: “ We are aware that there are issues accessing the ads in the library and we are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible. “
Advertisements for the Tories, Brexit Party and Liberal Democrats disappeared
Tristan Hotham, research consultant at WhoTargetsMe, calls it a “catastrophic failure”. Advertisements from the Conservative Party, the Brexit Party and the Liberal Democrats are affected. It is unclear whether Labor Party advertisements have also disappeared into the nirvana of the advertising database.
Facebook has not answered how this error could have happened, what the cause is, and when it will be fixed.
