Google will pause all U.S. election ads after polls close on Nov. 5 to prevent misinformation and premature victory claims, which plagued previous elections.
This policy aims to limit confusion since counting votes may continue after Election Day, highlighting the need for clear and accurate information during this crucial time.
The decision follows increased scrutiny among tech companies regarding misinformation, especially after the chaotic spread surrounding the previous presidential election.
The pause will affect all election-related ads on major Google platforms, including Google Ads and YouTube, while government ads about election processes will be exempt.
