solution of Facebook to control Russia

The use of false news and misleading advertising by Russia when inferring in the election of Donald Trump in the United States and during the Brexit in the United Kingdom has put social networks in check. On the one hand, both Facebook and Twitter are reluctant to provide data on the interference of Russia in the processes, despite having already taken an active role in research, while looking for other ways to investigate the purchase of campaigns advertising in their networks. Especially in the case of Facebook. While the company of Zuckerberg collaborates with the British intelligence services and the FBI in the United States, and Twitter meditates if it cooperates or not, the social network par excellence has decided to take measures by way of the acquisition. As usual in these cases. Facebook has announced the total purchase of Confirm.io. The Boston-based startup is the proud owner of an API, now owned by Facebook, that through biometric systems would be able to quickly verify government identification cards, such as driver's licenses or identity documents, and confirm if they are authentic. or not. In any case, it is not the first experience of Facebook with biometric systems; Already in 2016, the social network implemented a facial recognition system for tagging images and unlocking the application. Not without some legal problems through. At this moment, the Confirm.io website is already disabled and confirming its acquisition by Facebook. In this way, the entire team of the startup moves to the large family of the social network that, from now on, will work to adapt the company's API to the advertising purchase system on Facebook. Since its founding in 2015, Confirm.io has been able to raise 4 million in financing rounds, just before being acquired by Zuckerberg. A purchase that comes at an appropriate time for the social network, just when a large number of lawmakers in the United States have expressed concern about the difficulty of the company to identify all those who operate in their advertising system with coverage throughout the world. And what is more important, the ability of these to be included in elections or elections. In this way, Facebook would be able to control these publications and also have a comprehensive report of who publishes and who does not. And not only for advertising issues. The idea of ​​Facebook would be to implement the Confirm.io system in the security of the data of any user: those who have a pirated account, blocked or have lost the password without remedy can use their identities to access their personal data.
