Mozilla Writes To European Commission About Facebook's Lack of Ad Transparency (betanews.com)
Mark Wilson writes: Facebook has been no stranger to controversy and scandal over the years, but things have been particularly bad over the last twelve months. The latest troubles find Mozilla complaining to the European Commission about the social network's lack of transparency, particularly when it comes to political advertising. Mozilla's Chief Operating Officer, Denelle Dixon, has penned a missive to Mariya Gabriel, the European Commissioner for Digital Economy and Society. She bemoans the fact that Facebook makes it impossible to conduct analysis of ads, and this in turn prevents Mozilla from offering full transparency to European citizens -- something it sees as important in light of the impending EU elections.
It's publically available if you would have taken two seconds to look. Mozilla bought and owns Pocket.

I hate fat people.
DoJ is America, European Commission is European.
In terms of rules and friendliness to corporations they are very different. A liberal America is still a conservative (Probably closer to middle of the road) Europe. Telling Facebook what to do from the DoJ or the SEC just isn't going to happen.
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
