Nov 4, 2024, 10:43 PM

Meta has announced that it will extend its ban on new political ads for the week leading up to the election until several days after the polls close. This decision aims to prevent confusion and misinformation from spreading while votes are still being counted. The ban was originally scheduled to end at 11:59 p.m. PT on November 5th but will now remain in place for several days post-election. Meta has informed its advertising partners about the extension. Axios reported that a key aspect to watch is whether Meta properly enforces the ban.
