Meta's extended ban on new political ads until Election Day aims to prevent the spread of misinformation during a crucial political period. The company acknowledges the urgency in verifying new claims.
Political ads that featured before October 29 will still run but cannot be edited. The ban underscores Meta's intention to mitigate confusion during the final moments before elections.
In response to heightened concerns about election misinformation, Meta's ad restrictions first implemented in 2020 aim to protect the electoral process as tensions rise around false claims.
Reports indicate that deceptive advertising networks had placed over 160,000 political ads across 340 Facebook pages, marking a significant challenge for Meta to manage misinformation.
