In October 2019 Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that his social media company would ban all political advertising. He stated that political messages on the platform should reach users through the recommendation of other users – not through paid reach. Proponents argue that social media companies don’t have the tools to stop the spread of false information since their advertising platforms aren’t moderated by human beings. Opponents argue that the ban will disenfranchise candidates and campaigns who rely on social media for grassroots organizing and fundraising.

A decision on what ads are and are not allowed should not be regulated by the government, and instead should be left to the private companies themselves

@8VL52JJ3yrs3Y
They must make open transparency of each political ad, who funded it and where from and for how much. and they must cluster political adds with an equal diversity in opinion. Furthermore they must allow media users to opt out of seeing any Paid For Political advertising on a whole if they so choose. Political adds must be based on Fact and truth and not on deceptive predatory information practices or Fraudulent claims. Social Media should be liable for fraudulent claims they allow to be made in their media. Therefore they should be liable and well motivated to fact check or decline less than verifiable political claims before showing them to the public.
