Facebook says it will ban all political ads indefinitely after polls close for the November 3 election

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg leaving The Merrion Hotel in Dublin after a meeting with politicians to discuss regulation of social media and harmful content in April 2019.Facebook will ban all political ads beginning after the November 3 election, the company announced Wednesday.

Politicians have previously spent large sums on Facebook ads — the Trump campaign bought over $65 million in Facebook ads since July 1, while the Biden campaign bought $45 million in Facebook ads in that time. The move comes after months of mounting scrutiny over the company's handling of misinformation and criticism of its policy against fact-checking political ads.

Facebook has also been weighing how to address possible misinformation after polls close, including potential premature claims of victory while votes are still being tallied.

After polls? What utter nonsense?

Thank goodness

Translation: Facebook wants to make money until the election day... all political ads are welcome...

Hmm...physical polls may be closed Nov 3 but voting will still be happening (mail in ballot extensions)...

You’d think with all this idiot’s money, he’d get a decent hair cut !
