TWITTER<\/strong>. We\u2019re stopping all political advertising. \u201cWe\u2019ve made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought. Why? A few reasons\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n A political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet. Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money.<\/p>\n \u2014 jack<\/a> (@jack<\/a>) October 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n Internet political ads present entirely new challenges to civic discourse: machine learning-based optimization of messaging and micro-targeting, unchecked misleading information, and deep fakes. All at increasing velocity, sophistication, and overwhelming scale.<\/p>\n \u2014 jack<\/a> (@jack<\/a>) October 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n For instance, it\u2018s not credible for us to say: \u201cWe\u2019re working hard to stop people from gaming our systems to spread misleading info, buuut if someone pays us to target and force people to see their political ad\u2026well\u2026they can say whatever they want! \u201d<\/p>\n \u2014 jack<\/a> (@jack<\/a>) October 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n We\u2019re well aware we\u2018re a small part of a much larger political advertising ecosystem. Some might argue our actions today could favor incumbents. But we have witnessed many social movements reach massive scale without any political advertising. I trust this will only grow.<\/p>\n \u2014 jack<\/a> (@jack<\/a>) October 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n We\u2019ll share the final policy by 11\/15, including a few exceptions (ads in support of voter registration will still be allowed, for instance). We\u2019ll start enforcing our new policy on 11\/22 to provide current advertisers a notice period before this change goes into effect.<\/p>\n \u2014 jack<\/a> (@jack<\/a>) October 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n VINDMAN<\/strong>.
