Meta extends its ban on new political ads to prevent misinformation ahead of the U.S. election.

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, will extend its ban on new political ads beyond the U.S. election, maintaining the prohibition until later this week. This decision aims to prevent misinformation, a concern heightened since the previous election. While new political ads are banned, existing ads that have run previously will continue with limited editing options. Meta cites insufficient time to contest fresh claims as a reason for the extension.
