Will they really ban ads from all parties? It’s funny because an ad for Biden played right before the video.

How is this even legal? Companies could just decide to do this based on which candidate they feel it gives a larger advantage, huge election interference.

If everyone just cuts the shit, it won’t be an issue.

Funny how you guys didn’t think it was election interference when the Russians were doing it. Also yeah I’m pretty sure a company could decide which people it allows to advertise on its site.

Nah , Trump was destined to win. Nothing can stop him now. People prefer reality as opposed to this fictional narrative going on today. This isn’t rocket science it’s a far too predictable an outcome considering today’s irrational and chaotic climate. Only Marxist Anarchy promotes violence not everyday Americans. This Commie wagon is headed over the cliff to be dashed by the rocks below, its careening as we speak.

It’s already obvious who’s political ads are gonna be banned cause they’re already taking down trumps ads claiming racism and white supremacy. People who rely on Facebook for their source of news shouldn’t be allowed to vote cause they clearly arent very bright ????

Pull the plug on social media. They have turned away from the people and serve the interest of their politicians and NOT their primary group of customers, THE PEOPLE

Should have been that way for all social media since day 1. If users are given carte blanche to spread false claims campaigns that effect the turnout of elections and political agendas, then that subject matter doesn’t belong on social networking platforms when it’s propaganda dressed up as real news.

Please do. all social media need to ban all political ads. Twitter was the only one that got this right.
