Facebook isn't just banning political ads — it will also remove posts with 'content that seeks to intimidate voters'

Andrew Caballero-Reynolds/AFP via Getty ImagesAmong those steps is increased moderation of posts with "content that seeks to intimidate voters," including the use of "militarized language" regarding poll watching.

The new policy is part of a years-long overhaul of how Facebook operates before, during, and after major elections.Facebook is taking a series of precautionary measures ahead of the 2020 US presidential election, and the latest such measure involves policing posts with "content that seeks to intimidate voters."

Specifically, Facebook moderators are watching out for "calls for people to engage in poll watching when those calls use militarized language or suggest that the goal is to intimidate, exert control, or display power over election officials or voters."
