Facebook allowed Moldovan oligarch Ilan Shor to run anti-government ads on its platform despite the convicted fraudster being sanctioned by the United States.
Moldova's parliamentary candidate Ilan Shor, businessman, leader of his self-named party and the mayor of the town of Orhei, arrives to meet with supporters during a campaign event in the city of Comrat on February 15, 2019.
"Even though he is on the U.S. sanctions list, I still see sponsored ads on Facebook," Frasineau said, noting difficulty in communicating the issue with the company. "We have talked with Facebook, but it is very hard because there is no specific person, no contact." "When Ilan Shor and the Shor Party were added to the U.S. sanctions list, we took action on their known accounts," a company spokesperson said. "When we identified new associated accounts, we took action on those, as well. We adhere to U.S. sanctions laws and will continue working to detect and enforce against fake accounts and pages that violate our policies."
