Google halts political ads in EU due to upcoming stringent rules set to take effect in 2025.

Google will stop serving political ads in the European Union, including on YouTube, due to the upcoming Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA) rules set to take effect in October 2025. The TTPA's broad definition of political ads and lack of clear technical guidance pose significant operational challenges and legal uncertainties for Google. The company has faced similar issues and halted political ads in other countries like France and Brazil.
