I echo many of the comments that have been made about anonymous accounts. It is unacceptable in this day and age. If online banking apps have the capacity to be able to verify identities, there is no reason that online platforms cannot do it. To return to my original question to Facebook relating to advertising, what I am concerned about is outside interference in our democracy. I have been on the platform over the last hour while engaging in this meeting and one can change the attribution setting during campaign creation. One can change it from advertiser to administrator to analyst. Is that correct?
