SEATTLE (AP) — Google and Facebook are being ordered by a Washington state judge to pay $455,000 in a campaign finance violation case.

Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson said Tuesday that Google will pay $217,000 and Facebook will pay $238,000 in response to two lawsuits that accused the tech firms of not obeying the state law on political-ad transparency.

The lawsuits came after the state officials issued regulations that said digital ad companies like Google and Facebook are subject to the state law requiring them to maintain publicly available information about political ads, just like television stations and other media.
