The company said it would build a Web page that would enable users by the end of this year to identify the Russian accounts and pages they interacted with in follow-up or admiration between January and August 2017.
"This tool is part of the ongoing efforts to protect people who use the site who are trying to threaten our democracy," a Facebook statement said.
An experimental design for this tool will show only the names of the people who interact with them, without providing specific content to them.
At a Senate hearing by the end of October, Facebook revealed that some 126 million users may have seen content posted by the Internet Research Agency, which has ties to the Kremlin, and about 11.4 million users have seen political ads bought by the group worth about $ 100,000.
It is worth mentioning that Facebook will require advertisers during the US federal election season to disclose their names and places of presence to the public, in addition to include a feature that allows the users of the site to know more information about who posted these advertising materials, and see other ads that have already published, Even if not addressed to them.
