About 150 political ads that Facebook sold to Russian-operated Pages during last year’s election cycle showed up on Instagram, the company confirmed on Friday.

Facebook had previously divulged that it unknowingly sold approximately 3,000 ads to “inauthentic” Russian Pages trying to influence last year’s election, but this is the first admission that some of those ads appeared on one of its other properties.
