70 million people may have seen Russian Facebook ads, seven times the social media giant’s estimate


(Worthy News) – Facebook estimates 10 million Americans saw the advertisements that Russian groups purchased to try to influence the presidential election last year, but analysts said that undersells the reach of the ads, which may have been seen by as many as 70 million.
