Meta's extended ban on political ads aims to protect election integrity, as misinformation poses a significant threat during the counting of ballots and beyond.
The company initiated this ban to avoid the spread of false claims, similar to measures taken during previous elections, ensuring voters can trust the information they receive.
Despite the ban, ads that were approved before October 29 can still run on Meta platforms, albeit with limited options for modifications, balancing oversight with flexibility.
Other social media platforms like Google echo Meta's efforts in pausing political ads, emphasizing a collective response to the challenges posed by misinformation and AI-generated content.
