Facebook is trying to shut down a political ad transparency tool *wait for it* in the run up to one of the most consequential elections in US history. The tool, built by NYU researchers, is relied on by dozens of local journalists and civil society groups. https://www.wsj.com/...

1. Social Science One is a worthy effort, but more than two years after it was first announced it has failed to deliver. As we head into the 2020 elections, Facebook's platform remains alarmingly opaque. The public deserves more. https://www.wsj.com/...
