Facebook has pledged efforts to deal with misinformation on its platform after Russian propaganda on that platform before the 2016 U.S. presidential election was seen to affect the outcome of that race, which was won by Donald Trump.
But Facebook made a decision to not fact-check ads run by politicians, drawing ire from Democratic candidates running in the 2020 presidential election such as former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Elizabeth Warren. Earlier this month, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg defended the company’s policy, saying it did not want to stifle political speech.
Twitter’s ban takes effect starting Nov. 22. Dorsey wrote on Twitter that paying for ads forces “targeted political messages on people” with a power that “brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions.”Our Standards:
Bowing? Really? Look who got triggered.
Well done twitter, this a platform of mature people anyways
Thanks, one place I can go to escape the deluge of ads that are coming😰
Just follow indian PM..he will get around this ban...he is way too smart 😂😂
Hopefully this puts pressure on facebook to do the same...
Twitter (as opposed to FB) knows their users aren’t dumb enough to get their political info from promoted social media sources.
What kind of fucking headline is that.
Twitter is not bowing to pressure... it is setting an example.
Good.
horrible headline. twitter didn't bow to pressure. they actually took a stand. the easier thing to do was keep taking easy political ad money.
