[Air-L] Fwd: Mozilla: Facebook's Election Ad Archive API is inadequate

[Charles M. Ess]

Dear AoIRists,

Since many in this community not only do research dependent on APIs, but 
have also taken leadership in criticizing FB for its lockdown last year 
- I'm sure several of you have already seen this.
But just in case it's of interest in other quarters as well.

Increasingly, I find much of my philosophy is accomplished by the 
Rolling Stones (you can't always get what you want) and Bill-the-Cat: 
ack-thppt!

best,
- charles
