Democrats on the House Intelligence Committee are preparing to release 3,000 Russia-linked Facebook ads, according to people familiar with the matter, in what would offer the broadest picture yet of how the social network was manipulated during and after the 2016 U.S. presidential election.  The ads, which Facebook Inc. identified as bought by the pro-Kremlin Internet Research Agency, could be released as early as this week, some of the people said.  The cache will show the images of the ads, which groups the ads targeted, how much they cost and how many Facebook users viewed them, the people said.

Facebook is being accused of inadvertently helping Islamist extremists connect and recruit new members. A new report in The Telegraph cites research suggesting that the social media giant connected and introduced thousands of extremists through its "suggested friends" feature.
The research was conducted by the Counter Extremism Project, a non-profit organization that pressures companies to remove extremist content online. It plans to release its findings in an extensive report later this month.
