News Wrap: Facebook to tighten rules around political advertising

In our news wrap Wednesday, Facebook says it will enforce stricter rules on political advertising ahead of the 2020 elections, in response to revelations that Russians bought thousands of political ads in 2016. Organizations will have to prove they are both legitimate and based in the U.S. Also, union members in Hong Kong protested the firing of airline employees linked to pro-democracy activism.
