After halting all new political ads in the U.S. in the week leading up to November’s general election, a move aimed at averting misinformation and unrest, Facebook is set to resume allowing them.

Facebook Inc. will end a ban on political advertising in the U.S. on Thursday, opening its social networking sites for ads about politics, elections and social issues for the first time in months.

The Menlo Park, Calif., company halted all new political ads in the U.S. in the week leading up to November’s general election, and then stopped all political and social issue ads in the following weeks as then-President Trump publicly fought the outcome. Facebook allowed some political ads around a Senate runoff in Georgia in early January, but blocked all political ads again Jan. 6.

“We put this temporary ban in place after the November 2020 election to avoid confusion or abuse following Election Day,” the company wrote in aThe ban is scheduled to lift on the same day that a militia group may try to storm the U.S. Capitol.

“We plan to use the coming months to take a closer look at how these ads work on our service to see where further changes may be merited,” Facebook said Wednesday.

No matter what happens, the Trumps will always be remembered as true TRAITORS! Donald J Trump is the ONLY president to be impeached twice and the only to continuously lie to the American people that lead to more then 517,000 American deaths.

Facebook lifts political ad banFacebook will lift its ban on political ads on Mar. 4, ending a self-imposed prohibition that began immediately after the November 2020 general election Interesting date. Maybe they should wait until Q's 3/20 bizzaro revolution date pt. 3. So they take a stand when no one is running for office but as soon as that sweet campaign money is about to roll out they reverse their policy. That’s one heck of a stance right there. 🤦‍♂️
