        Facebook Inc will start using postcards sent by U.S. mail
        later this year to verify the identities and location of
        people who want to purchase U.S. election-related advertising
        on its site, a senior company executive said on Saturday.

don't have the resources to set up U.S.-based mail drops to receive
those postcards?
