In the run up to the midterms we found a page that was running thousands of dollars of ads against that had no information about who was behind it. cnn.com/2018/10/25/tec

That one is 'betterbrexit.org', their domain is protected by Whois privacy, but the site still has a transparent privacy policy - that lists 'voter consultancy ltd', which is Thomas Borwick - ie, Vote Leave's CTO.

The privacy policy lists Kanto Systems and Voter Consultancy Ltd. Wouldn't it be better then for the Facebook "paid for" section to list either of those entities?
