Seattle accuses Facebook of violating campaign finance law

The Seattle Ethics and Elections Commission found Facebook Inc. to be in violation of a law that requires companies to disclose who buys election ads, Reuters reported, citing a statement.

Wayne Barnett, executive director of the city's election authority, said Facebook could either share details about spending on Seattle city elections in 2017, or face penalties of up to $5,000 per advertising purchase.

Facebook Vice President Will Castleberry said the company provided relevant information in response to a request from the election body. Barnett, however, said the response "doesn't come close to meeting their public obligation."
