The Ad Library is a place where you can search for ads that are running across Meta Products. You can use it to get information about the ads you see. # For all ads, you can search for ads that are currently active on Meta Products. # For ads that are about issues, elections, or politics, you can also search ads that are inactive (no longer running across Meta Products). Transparency is a priority for us to help prevent interference in elections, so the Ad Library also shows you additional information about these ads, such as who funded the ad, a range of how much they spent, and the reach of the ad across multiple demographics. We store these ads in the library for seven years.
