WASHINGTON, USA – Google's tightening of its political ad policy could help reduce the spread of misinformation on election campaigns, but at a cost for lesser-known candidates.
Google also sought to clarify its policy by indicating it does not allow"false claims" in advertising, political or otherwise."It's against our policies for any advertiser to make a false claim – whether it's a claim about the price of a chair or a claim that you can vote by text message, that election day is postponed, or that a candidate has died."
"Now that Google and Twitter have taken responsible steps to guard against shadowy political influence campaigns, Facebook should do the same." Analysts noted that Facebook, which has rejected efforts to fact-check political speech or ads, will be pressured to make a similar move that could have even more far-reaching consequences.
Eric Wilson, a Republican digital strategist, said new candidates will be hampered in their ability to raise funds and build voter lists – a key element on online campaigns even before the"persuasion" phase.
Seriously, Sen. RonWyden (Democrat, Oregon)... 'responsible steps to guard against shadowy political influence'? Twas the DNC who used bots posing as fake Russian persons on Twitter & FB in 2016, and who paid for the infamous fake Steele dossier. Define 'Projection'.
