Facebook under fire as political ads vanish from archive: FT
FOX Business' David Asman and Kristina Partsinevelos, Fox News contributor John Layfield, former investment banker Carol Roth and Capitalist Pig hedge fund founder Jonathan Hoenig discuss Facebook executives' decision to not open the company's encrypted messaging products to law enforcement.
Thousands of political ads have gone missing from Facebook Inc’s public archive less than 48 hours before the British general election, the Financial Times reported on Tuesday.
The report added that on Dec. 5, the social media’s ad library showed a total of just under 180,000 classified as political in Britain since October 2018. But on Tuesday, that number had suddenly dropped by a third, to fewer than 120,000 ads.

Facebook did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment.
