Facebook expands political ad ban past Election Day

Facebook announced Wednesday that it was expanding its ban on political ads as the social media company continues its preparation for Election Day.

In a news release outlining Facebook’s efforts to help “more Americans register and vote” and protect “the integrity of the election by fighting foreign interference, misinformation and vote suppression,” Guy Rosen, Facebook’s vice president of integrity, said the company would bar any political ads from the platform indefinitely.
