Today Facebook announced it will be bringing more transparency to Facebook pages. According to TechCrunch, users will now be able to view all active ads currently running and flag any ads that violate Facebook's ad policies. In addition, the social sharing site is taking extra time reviewing political ads which delays the ads going live on the site. 

COO Sheryl Sandberg said she doesn't expect the additional ad transparency to affect ad spend on Facebook. “I think advertisers for the most part stand behind the ads they’re running,” she said. “You actually can see a lot of your competitors’ ads [already], you just have to catch them.”

Sandberg acknowledged that these are the first steps to becoming a more transparent platform.
