福克斯新闻 大选期间脸书向俄罗斯出售10万美元广告

Facebook chief security officer Alex Stamos wrote in a post that roughly $100,000 was spent on 3,000 ads from June 2015 to mid¹ 2017. Those ads were connected to 470 inauthentic accounts and pages and Facebook says they were likely operated out of Russia.

社交网站脸书首席安全官史塔莫斯(Alex Stamos)在一份公告中表示，从2015年6月到2017年年中，有3000条广告共花费了大约10万美元。这些广告与470条不真实的记录和网页有关。脸书网表示，这些可能是在俄罗斯境外操作的。

Stamos explains most of these ads and accounts didn't reference the election, but were instead used to make divisive social and political messages that he says were across the ideological² spectrum³. A quarter of the ads were geographically⁴ targeted.

史塔莫斯解释说，大部分广告和数据并未提及选举，而是用来散播在各种意识形态之间造成离间的社会和政治信息。四分之一的广告涉嫌地域歧视。

Stamos says the fake accounts and ads have been removed and they've since begun looking at how to develop new techniques to detect fake accounts and ads while they're being created.

史塔莫斯表示，这些虚假的数据和广告已经被删除，自那时以来，他们已经开始查看如何研发新技术来在虚假广告出现时就检测出来。
