Facebook wrote to the Electoral Commission about paid advertising only.

The British politician leading an inquiry into Russian disinformation in the UK has attacked Facebook for failing to provide enough information after the social media company admitted Russian accounts had bought ads in the run-up to the Brexit vote...
Damian Collins, chair of the committee, said Facebook had not answered its questions: “Facebook’s statement to the electoral commission does not answer the questions that I put to [Facebook CEO] Mark Zuckerberg,” he said.
“It would appear that no work has been done by Facebook to look for Russian activity around the EU referendum, other than from funded advertisements from those accounts that had already been identified as part of the US Senate’s investigation,” he added.
Facebook has sidestepped questions for months from MPs and journalists about Russian interference through its platform in the UK.
