Meta Extends Ban on New Election Ads
News summary

Meta Platforms has announced an extension of its ban on new political ads, which will continue until several days after the U.S. election, as part of its efforts to curb misinformation. This policy, in place since 2020, prohibits new ads during the final week leading up to the election and allows previously approved ads to run with limited editing options. The extension aims to prevent the spread of unverified claims during a critical period when votes may still be counted. Meta's decision aligns with similar measures taken by other tech companies, including Google, to maintain electoral integrity. Advertisers are restricted from making significant changes to their existing campaigns, reflecting the company's commitment to minimizing misinformation during elections. The exact end date of the ad ban has not been specified but is expected to last until later this week.
