Facebook to let users turn off political adverts

Can we deduce from this move that political ads are a minor share of Facebook's revenue? If so, I somehow feel good about it.

Perhaps Facebook should have a legal obligation to disclose that share.

In a way they already do, all political ads on facebook (in any country) are public information through their Ad Library Report: https://www.facebook.com/ads/library/report/?source=archive-...

Simply take their earning reports and divide one by the other and you'll get the percentage of revenue

I am not sure that we can deduce that, but regardless I feel good about it.
