Facebook users in the United States who want to run certain ads on the platform will need to hand over the last four digits of their social security number and a picture of a government-issued ID.The social network now requires anyone who wants to run ads related to political campaigns, civil rights, immigration, guns, economy, and other issues, to prove they're in the United States. Part of the proof required is the last four digits of your Social Security number.The move is part of a series of initiatives by Facebook to increase transparency on the platform after a Russian government-linked troll group spent thousands of rubles?on Facebook ads targeting Americsans ahead of the 2016 presidential election.In addition to a Social Security number, users wishing to buy ads will need to provide a picture of a government-issued ID and a US mailing address. Once Facebook verifies the information submitted, the company will mail a code to the provided address to authorize the user's Facebook account to buy ads.Facebook declined to share what services it uses to verify Social Security numbers and other personal details. The company said it will delete the information after verification."This normally happens within six weeks," the company says on its website.Related: Ahead of US midterms, tech companies stumble in Irish abortion voteQualifying ads will include a "paid for by" tag and will be saved in a political ad archive. As recently as last month,Facebook said ads would also include the tag "Political Ad." This is no longer the case.The change, Facebook told CNN, is because advertisers that might not traditionally be considered "political" will also be subject to the new rules.It's not only ads advocating for or against a political candidate that qualify for the archive. Any ad mentioning a candidate will be subject to the new rules.In April, Facebook released a list of 20 "issues" -- including as abortion, education, guns, health, immigration, military and terrorism -- that apply to the new approval process.The last issue on Facebook's list is "values," which the company considers "issues that discuss the values used in determining societal standards, such as patriotism."The new rules mean many marketing campaigns will be subject to the new guidelines. For instance, Super Bowl ads that have in recent years taken on a more socially conscious tone. Some companies run sponsored digital versions of their ads on Facebook after they air on television.Related: Facebook's new rules for Pages are a big deal, but there are major questionsSome news publishers, which promote articles via Facebook ads, have taken issue with the rules.The News Media Alliance, a trade group that represents publishers including the Wall Street Journal and The New York Times, wrote to Facebook last Friday asking for an exemption from the rules.The group is concerned that the inclusion of news stories alongside partisan political ads conflates the two."Newsgathering and reporting about politics is not the same thing as advocacy or politics," the letter said.The News Media Alliance did not outline how Facebook should decide what qualifies as a news outlet.In response to the letter, Campbell Brown, Facebook's head of news partnerships, said in a statement, "We recognize the news content about politics is different and we are working with publishers to develop the right approach."Last week, CNN reviewed the active Facebook ad campaigns of more than a dozen US and international news outlets popular on the social networking site.Only The New York Times and online video publisher NowThis News were running ads on Thursday, according to Facebook's "view ads" feature ¡ª a tool the company is testing in Ireland and Canada, and allows users to see what pages are running ads.CNN sent Facebook a selection of those ads to ask what the company would deem political."The principal architect behind the 9/11 attacks has something he wants to tell senators about President Trump's CIA pick," said the text of one ad, which linked to a The New York Times article.Facebook told CNN the ad "would be deemed political content as it references President Trump."This means the ad would include details about who paid for it and be included in the political ad archive.Another ad run by The New York Times included the following text: "Back in 1992, 'the idea that a thrilling sexual, openly gay and very butch woman would become a pop idol was seismic," and linked to an article headlined "K.D. Lang Doesn't Have to Indulge Your Constant Cravings."Facebook said ads about civil rights will be subject to its stricter rules but the company told CNN this particular ad "would not be deemed political or issue content as it focuses on the journey of an individual rather than a civil rights discussion."CNN also asked Facebook if the same ad was running in a state where there was a ballot initiative on civil rights would it then be considered an issue or political ad. The company did not provide a response.Facebook says it plans to hire up to 4,000 more people to review and verify political ads. Their role will likely include navigating the nuance of what is and isn't political.Antonio Garcia-Martinez, a former product manger on the Facebook ad team, said that he believes the company is hoping to get ahead of any potential regulation of ads on social media.He said he thought verifying ad-buyers was a good idea, but added "there's this law of Facebook outrage.""No matter which choice they make they're going to have a howling chorus of people complaining about it," Garcia-Martinez said. 5657

ESCONDIDO, Calif. (KGTV) -- Hundreds of people attended a carnival hosted by a celebrity chef on Monday to raise money for an Escondido restaurant owner nearly killed in a hit-and-run last December. Kaitlyn "Rosie" Pilsbury was riding her motorcycle when she was hit head-on by the driver of an SUV. The driver ditched the vehicle and took off. It happened in Vista just days before Christmas. Pilsbury suffered massive injuries and was in a coma for 12 days. "When I heard this happened my first call was to the network, my second call was to the mayor, and my third was to all these people, this is a 'Restaurant: Impossible' family in a community that cares about that young girl," said celebrity chef Robert Irvine of the Food Network. RELATED: Escondido restaurant owner remains in ICU after being hit by an SUVIrvine first met Pilsbury when her restaurant, Rosie's Cafe, was featured on his show "Restaurant: Impossible.""She's got the heart of gold, she helps this community inside, out she became very close to me a year ago," said Irvine, who visited Pilsbury in a rehab center Sunday. "She looks way better than she did four days ago. And today, she looks way better than she did yesterday." Pilsbury's mom flew in from New Jersey the moment she heard about the accident. Marie Pilsbury said the support is overwhelming. "She is, I believe, a miracle, in my opinion. I'm sorry, all the prayer and all the love I know that she felt it and I know that it made a difference," Pilsbury said tearfully. Her daughter is scheduled to be released from a rehab center on Tuesday. "She is so positive and so thrilled and so thankful for everything," said Pilsbury. Irvine told 10News' Rachel Bianco that the event helped raise nearly 0,000 that will go towards Kaitlyn Pilsbury's medical bills. 1807

Europe is proposing a ban on single-use plastic items such as cutlery, straws?and cotton buds in a bid to clean up the oceans.The European Commission wants to ban 10 items that make up 70% of all litter in EU waters and on beaches. The list also includes plastic plates and drink stirrers.The draft rules were unveiled Monday but need the approval of all EU member states and the European Parliament. It could take three or four years for the rules to come into force.The legislation is not just about banning plastic products. It also wants to make plastic producers bear the cost of waste management and cleanup efforts, and it proposes that EU states must collect 90% of single-use plastic bottles by 2025 through new recycling programs.The European Commission estimates that these rules, once fully implemented in 2030, could cost businesses over €3 billion (.5 billion) per year. But they could also save consumers about €6.5 billion (.6 billion) per year, create 30,000 jobs, and avoid €22 billion (.6 billion) in environmental damage and cleanup costs.The Rethink Plastic Alliance -- an association of environmental organizations -- called the proposals "a leap forward in tackling plastic pollution" but criticized some perceived shortcomings.The proposals do not set targets for EU countries to reduce the use of plastic cups and food containers, it said."This could result in countries claiming they are taking the necessary steps as long as any reduction is achieved, regardless of how small," the alliance said in a statement.The proposal also faced criticism from the plastics industry.Plastics Europe, which represents manufacturers, said it supported the "overarching objective" of the proposal but said there must be more resources dedicated to "waste management" to ensure better collection of used plastic."Plastic product bans are not the solution," it said in a statement, and noted that "alternative products may not be more sustainable."On a global basis, only 14% of plastic is collected for recycling. The reuse rate is terrible compared to other materials -- 58% of paper and up to 90% of iron and steel gets recycled.Research shows there will be more plastic than fish by weight in the world's oceans by 2050, which has spurred policy makers, individuals and companies into action.Last month a group of more than 40 companies including Coca-Cola, Nestle, Unilever and Procter & Gamble pledged to slash the?amount of plasticthey use and throw away in the United Kingdom.Starbucks also announced in March it was launching a  million grant challenge to solicit designs for a cup that's easier to recycle. 2689
