CEO Jack Dorsey says Twitter has decided to ban all political ads by candidates and outside groups, aiming to avoid the chaos Facebook’s political ad policy has created.

FILE - This July 9, 2019, file photo shows a sign outside of the Twitter office building in San Francisco. Twitter is banning all political advertising from its service, saying social media companies give advertisers an unfair advantage in proliferating highly targeted, misleading messages.

“While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics, where it can be used to influence votes to affect the lives of millions,” Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted Wednesday in aFacebook has taken fire since it disclosed earlier in October that it will not fact-check ads by politicians or their campaigns, which could allow them to lie freely.

Critics have called on Facebook to ban all political ads. These include CNN chief Jeff Zucker, who recently called the company’s policy of allowing lies “absolutely ludicrous” and advised the social media giant to sit out the 2020 election until it can figure out something better.Montana Gov. Steve Bullock, who is running a 2020 Democratic presidential campaign, retweeted Dorsey’s announcement, adding the comment “Good. Your turn, Facebook.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

Twitter is already a political cess pool of cowards hiding behind fake accounts. I would appreciate political adds from vetted and accountable sources. Lame cop-out to keep the riff-raff pulling in the ad-$.

Great move. Very conscientious 🙂.

Facebook should do that also.

So none of us are capable of making our own minds and own judgements up 🤨

This is a bandaid. What about the way our news feeds are manipulated?

I see this as just another liberal attempt to shut down conservatives. A look behind the scenes would likely be in order. How can they police ads, when truth isn't always known? People could just use their brains, and do some research if there are questions.

facebook are you listening?

MandyLeeDUBHKG Please also ban that from CCP! ❤️Thank you!

Any attempt at censorship begins with two premises. 1. They are trying to shape your thinking to their way. And 2. They think you are to stupid to discover the truth on your own. This is the basis of today's Democrat party and it's propaganda arm the MSM.

But they will censor who they don't think is good for you

If I post anything inappropriate, my tweet gets deleted and my account is put on restrictions. Why doesn’t the same standard ever apply to Trump’s account? Countless false information on there that threatens national security, online or otherwise. Be fair.

I support this. Thanks Twitter

Isn't this a violation of the 1st amendment?

KaylaMamelak Yes Twitter the only social media with a “set “

Rachel_McRea Does that include POTUS?

Tom Steyer really was getting on my nerves.

Good for them

Thank you

Yeah, sure...

This is great. All 'Climate Change' ads, Planned Parenthood ads, anything that can be considered political, is dead on Twitter. Trump already owns the media and effectively do his campaigning for him. The Alt Left Cult is really going to struggle now. 🤡🌎👌👌👌👌👌👌

Just another glowing contrast to the disaster Facebook has become.

Jack Dorsey just doesn't want Trump. Is all an agenda. They are taking our rights away. You can't tell me I can't advertise my stuff. Thats infringement.

Im sick of tom steyer and tulsi gabbards UGLY faces on twitter ads...

SethAbramson Clever and right.

jack is a spineless tool of the left.

،It has nothing to do with using Twitter for a political or other purpose, which is racism because Twitter is a means for all political or social levels and seems to be a mute of truth and purely racist from the owner of Twitter, which is politicized

Probably a good thing. It will apply to all political parties.

And on what you want to silence the mouths of the oppressed and stand with the oppressor and the murderer to dare to their actions of killing, imprisoning and destroying the owners of the case will not forgive you if this is done and obscured you are a Zionist

Why wait? Cancel the ads and send them a refund.

realDonaldTrump Time to create 'TRUMP NEWS' and a REAL 'PATRIOT NEWS NETWORK' with some honest journalism.

Smart

SethAbramson Sometimes, it's better to endorse no one, than endorse everyone.

DWilliamsTV Good idea!

A really nice and selfless thinking sir. But Twitter is going to lose a lot of followers (especially Indians). Jackdorsey

Fake, I saw a dozen political ads today... 😂

Brilliant move and the right thing to do. Don't want social media telling me what way to think POTUS seanhannity LindseyGrahamSC jack jackdorsey

Afraid of what the American People really believe. silence

TampaNative52 Good for you and us

Fear of the 1st ?!

Whew! So I can here while I leave Facebook.

If you don’t know the reason for this. Then you don’t know Jack 😂😂😂😂

There's always something !!!

Nazis and violent White Supremicists still welcomed with open arms

jack а ведь можно было просто забанить Трампа 3 года назад

But of course the trollbots stay.

All eyes are on facebook Well....! We're waiting!

cooperchip1 Will he get rid of the bots that spread lies and hate!!?

THANK YOU JACK DORSEY!

Love it.

facebook

Thank you jack

Why not ban all advertising while you are at it?

No worries! Trump will win, and America will stand for now. The longer we can keep Dems out, the longer this great country will thrive!

Good!

No big deal cuz about 80% of adults do not even look at twitter. twitterisdishonest

So will antifa be banned finally?

facebook ?

But let’s BOTS run wild

Exactly‼️ Something(s) need to change. Freedom of the Press is not what it should/used (to) be on many levels. Perhaps the Press Media should be separate from Social Media...Whatever happens, we need change & we need it now‼️

OMG we have had a circus of clowns in Washington DC going on for 3 years now! When does it end? Impeach Trump and get it over with! Then find a republican that can represent us with some brains!

Label Ads as Ads & ppl will never be duped jack BUT 2 allow political TROLLING by 1 master account that manipulates multiple sub-accounts 2 falsely create 'trending' political messages-- THAT'S truly sinister(!) Don't censor or edit paid speech--just label it SavageJoyMarie1

Well done brilliant move 👏👏👏👏👏

It'd be more useful 2ban political TROLLING accounts under 1 person's (paid?) control jack Ex: Brock 4 HRC tedcruz electioneering (&applause) &Bernie-bashing CAP's Neera Tanden &hoarse whisperer Such weaponized accounts try2 simulate RL opinion Whereas Ads are clearly Ads

Jack is a liar. The real reason is, Trump has big money behind him and the Dems don’t. They want to stifle his outspending the Dems.

Yeah, we'll see how long THAT lasts.

When the Republicans sign that bill into law that hides the truth about donors, they knew then that they had the advantage.

dancindoti Then how come I’ve seen tRumps

Translation: they have a backlog of ad impressions and don't need this money. This has nothing to do with 'doing the right thing'.

Sure, just take his word

Sputnik is a Russian government website. It’s influence on right-wing, pro-Trump “news” is pervasive. Most popular right-wing conspiracy theories were featured first on Sputnik and then get picked up by right wing media like Infowars, Breitbart and Fox.

Thank you jack! Can you tell Zuckerberg to do the same and stop pretending he’s some sort of society savior?! FBsucks

Thank you jack !

Great job Twitter!

SamanthaJPower Excelente

When?

Perfect it is absolutely perfect ❤️

markzucky could learn a lot from this!! Facebook will now be Republicanbook!!

That's great news.... Keep Twitter politically pure & working for you, the people* *messege brought to you by the handle to elect Biden2020 Warren2020 Pete2020 Kamala2020 Hell, Trump2020 to make my point** *I approved this messege.. Or I'm a bot for Putin2020

Best news ive heard in years!

Why is that everything President Trump says comes to past. Fake news, democrat whistleblower, fake impeachment.

This is a strange thing to do ....no advertising politics? We will see how that really works. Hmm🤔

Just ban trump and itll be fine.

Zuck is compromised. Politicians have pimped him for a lifetime

Thank you jack and twitter

Thanks🤗

AnkleTwisted This means nothing if something isn't done about the bots and trolls. I doubt actual political advertising made up a significant part of the revenue. This is just a smokescreen because he knows the damage that bots and trolls can do.

This isn’t even close to being a good thing. Politicians with large followings can still advertise it just isn’t paid. This harms the small, lesser known politicians, but incumbents will not be impacted. In addition, hate speech and other dangerous messaging will continue!

This is not free speech, Jack

Twitter policy: silence all opinions and political views

This is only happening because realDonaldTrump is more effective at the twitters than anyone the Dems have.

If only he felt this strongly about banning nazis..

But what exactly is 'political'? Is the NRA political? Is the NAACP political? Is the UNO political?

Hopefully this goes to both sides of the political spectrum

Yeah, bullshit.....

Thank you!!

polidan_sharon Thank you jack....

Applause to Twitter for doing what facebook is to chickenshit and greedy to do! fuckfacebook

Thank you Twitter jackdorsey

What about trump tweets?

Yet trump is allowed to continue his hate rhetoric and his anti media BS!!!!!

Bravo

That decision receives my stamp of approval, having started my own version of Twitter some 15 years ago. I like where you've taken this Jack.

Big question is WHY people who can’t spend the time to verify messages get what they deserve

Thank you Twitter!

Forbes travel alone

If this is true, it is only being done so they don't get blasted for only banning realDonaldTrump

Because jack is a bloody socialist. / POTUS

Good move! Be neutral!

Yeah I will believe it when I see it. Here's my prediction. Conservatives will be banned for any pro Trump activity. Democrats will have thousands of pro Democrat candidate editorials, memes, and let's be honest, straight up advertisements, and nothing will be done.

Jack, you gave 400k for planting trees, now you are banning political ads. You are a real human.

Twitter is a PAC for the DNC. This will be hilarious.

Chaos Lmao, ok. Would it have been considered “chaos” if Hillary won? No. We wouldn’t even be discussing this. Fascists

'chaos' lol.

I'm sure someone is offended

Ban Trump!

Twitter cannot stop Donald J. Trump WontWorkJack Trump2020LandslideVictory

Good job Jack

No, this is to affect the election.

williamlegate next step: ban all advertisements

Twitter GOOD JOB PROTECTING OUR NATION, too bad the Senate does not feel things like this are their responsibility.

Great news!!

williamlegate That is just fine with me.

Facebook must follow Twitters lead! NoPoliticalAdsOnFacebook StopTrump StopRussia StopTheBots

Now Facebook.

williamlegate Good for Twitter. Hope the policy spreads.

Look at Tweeter stock however. FB stinks and I’m not a fan. I want facts. It is sorely lacking on TV and papers. Need tweeter to give us facts exactly how they are stated not some fake reporters

About time they stand up, everyone hates political ads!! Do it for the people, rest should be following

Strong move. Firm move. He knows Twitter needs to distance itself from politics as much as possible due to it's own struggles with bans on certain 'political commentators' that believe they are targeted for their views.

More reasoning for them to shadow ban conservatives. People should look beyond what they're trying to sell at face value.

williamlegate Cmon facebook do the right thing and follow suit!!!

Responsible thing to do absent fed regulation as in broadcast television.

Ads I get.... but the words spread by the uneducated is worse.

Good move Twitter!

“Free” twitter doesn’t mean free speech. Sites limit firearms sales, porn. Why not political ads.

You're all applauding this and ignoring the fact that Jack and Twitter will still push the liberal anti conservative agenda

Does this mean Trump is exempt from this ban ?

I'll believe it when I see it

Putz

Let me guess...all the libtard crap won’t be considered political adds. It will be categorized in such a way as to pass the filters...shocking

That’s fair if you band them all. Might lose some revenue but you will save your mind and reputation.

Well then, why are we still seeing political ads? More FAKE news?

Really?! Biden has one on there this morning.

FB co-founder & CEO Zuckerberg vs. Twitter CEO Dorsey: bogus campaign ads vs. ethical reform.

Oh no. This is a very bad news for thr ruling party of India. They will drown if there is no social media to spread their hatred and bigotry. BJP s loss.

A welcome move by Twitter TwitterNewsSummit

Sad this must be done....But it LEVELS THE PLAYING FIELD....

👏👏👏👏

Wish phone services would follow suit.

Iibtards can't win the meme war. This is further proof!

Trump in 2020!

thank goodness FB any response? Crickets ...blank stare

Start with Trump’s ad!!

Hey, markzucky , you reading this ? Thoughts?

Thanks ....

So what about trumps unpaid public announcement videos? If those continue I’m out and everyone should boycott twitter.

Good

Holy shit, Twitter actually did something right for once!

Thank you for making this decision in the best interests for America

For once I agree with him🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Does this mean no more phony polls and petitions that just want to harvest your email?

I think it's wrong to block ads that are directly from the candidates because we need to hear from them. Block only PACs and other paid ads.

Seriously, this is worthy of some kind of international award.

Excellent news

Yeah!!!

Did he ever think, that if it not were for the president his platform would've been toast. But go on take the money and run.

How does this guy keep his job. .

Good

Indeed the best step!!! Thank you Twitter

one less problem to have while anticipating upcoming election,

Greed cannot take you very far. Solid decision. To maintain relevance & neutrality with a heavy short term price. Not becoming a tool in apparatus.

Good decision Now Facebook should follow it.There is no need for social networks to promote politics.Its like politicians are invading home and users privacy and putting their thoughts into users mind.Its outrageous.

Except for Democrats of course.

I can’t believe the stupid people on here supporting and agreeing with this move. How stupid are you guys ? This is a doorway to censorship. I know the left has no idea what that means. They are allowed to say anything they want with no repercussions ...

TheAuraWah People: Who needs ads when you got the power of MEMES?!!!

This is a dark day.

This is a move by twitter to silence conservatives and President Trump because Trump has more funds than democrats. What if President Trump’s account tweets a otherwise political video? Not paying for an add! Or tweets a link to a YouTube political add! Will that be censured

fbnewsroom facebook

...if it’s what you say, I love it👏👏👏❤️‼️

👍👍👌

DeleteFacebook

I feel like Timcast influenced this decision quite heavily, fair play to him

Thanks you Twitter

I finally won’t see PeteButtigieg trying to convince me he’s the next Obama.

A bold move!

Seems he's making the decision Zuckerberg would not.

He deserves a nobel.peace prize for services to humanity

I Hope that someone can define exactly what types of Political Ads they are referring to? That 1 with joining Mrs. Warren to go on a drinking binge can go.

And all Asian Pop please

Seems pretty solid! 👌

Good to see that Twitter isn’t following in Facebook’s tracks of it’s Politically Corrupt & Paid Propaganda Model 🤔🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🇪🇺

The guilt of putting orangehitler in office must be heavy.

Interesting since they leave Trump's Twitter account wide open. Free advertising.

It is at least something. Let’s see Twitter stop the bots.

They also banning twitter pages critical of Australian govt Any anti lnp pages are being blocked no reason no explanation No time period

Thank you Jack!

Kya baat hai Usi Ka Intezar tha Hamen

JanCR2903 Proud of twitter. The last stronghold.

Dorsey just devalued his own company. He’s not the brightest bulb in the drawer!

Leftist Twitter CEO Dorsey is squashing Republicans freedom of speech by banning their Ads, just like blocking Republicans with shadow banning! President Trump's popularity has helped Republicans out raising the Democrats 10 to 1 in campaign donations.

Great decision jack I'm all for it. In the letters I write to voters, I always make a point to say that I am not telling them who to vote for. I do say that democracy only works when everyone votes. We do not need foreign influence or paid advertisements to influence our vote.

Good decision

JustAskinU Jack Good move!!

When will jack ban Trump's?

Twitter just took a step In the right direction.

Could this be the beginning of money out of politics? Sure hope so!

And yet, jack gives free reign to Donald Trump to violate Twitter's rules at will, and disseminate lies & libel people with NO consequences.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

How do you ban yourself?

Good job!

Then Twitter itself will be banned too, for being one giant leftist DNC Infomercial?

Censorship we’re like China now

PrezTeamtrump Vote Trump2020 Jackoff

Nice jack Team way to be American!.. what took so long?... None the less well done!

Good job

SellFacebookStock It's the only language Zuckerberg understands. I did it! Liberating! Organize. Do it the same day. Punish Facebook irresponsible corporate behavior!

Prove it. Walk the talk

What took so long, Twitter JackDorsey? FB just made a weird deal, I read, and I sense a war brewing. Selective censorship could be a real problem.

That’s why I see Joe Biden adds all day everyday

When is facebook going to do this? When they get rid of that greedy Zuckerberg russian lover

Cool, I’m good with it. Maybe now I’ll stop getting Martha McSally panhandling for money.

Thank you, Twitter for protecting our elections, unlike some others.

Twitter meant to say that they will ban all political ads by conservatives so that’s what I really think and who is going to stop them if they do a boo-boo here for a dem? Doesn’t really matter, the re-election was In the bag, long ago!

Much needed

Thank god

Thank you

Any thoughts on this BurnettRM ?

GOOD. Sick of politics.

Jack thinks he can control our votes: His scheme wrapped up here: “that power (ads) ... can influence votes to affect the lives of millions.” What does Jack mean by “affect?” 🤔 Jack’s crazy, still trying extinguish the Happy4Trump phenomenon. It wasn’t ADS, Jack.

Wow and CNN wont air Trump ads. So just trying to restrict Republicans from having any source of social media connection

Good. Wish Facebook would get their sh$& together. It’s well beyond time that voters actually LEARN about the candidates instead of taking 30,60 second bs sound bites as the gospel. That’s how we’ve ended up with the chuckleheads in charge now. They had the money others didn’t.

FB wouldn't have the chaos if it just verified ads followed current FEC rules like it does for Pharma ads with the FDA regs. Not really a difficult task.

Thank you Twitter

Do we all get accolades for doing the right thing now that so much has been done wrong? participation in democracy yay!

Now we just need YouTube to do the same

THANK GOD

Thank you jack....

Great!

MindySue28 Great idea.

Facebook needs to step up.

Good

LauraLoomerForCongress

TAINA525 Imagine a company forgoing profit for the good of the country. Have to say didn't ever think I'd see this. Now if only they could do something about America's Twitter drunk uncle.

Lol. Twitter is a giant liberal echo chamber already.

I will wait one week for Dorsey to reverse his stand on political ads.if he doesn’t I will deactivate my Tetris account and tell all to sell their Tetris stock as it’s obvious to me Dorsey is a left wing socialist

bobjenz Whyyyyyyyyyy

Hmm. Why did it take his company so long to make this decision? Just yesterday, he was promoting a candidate.

Twitter has advertising?

I like the move

Does this mean tRump's and his campaign's posting of his political ads will be removed? 🤔 please...🙏

Smart move Twitter.

YAYYYY!! 😃😃😃🥳🥳🥳🥳 TWITTER was always so biased towards Kamala Harris that it made me gag. Let's hope that Dorsey will keep Twitter objective and not further shadowban conservative posts.

BAN ALL ADS...THAT WOULD BE GREAT

Unnn so...pay for against parrot 🦜?

So good idea

LinRoseResists Bravo, twitter, bravo jack

Yeah... that should stop all those political bots and trolls farms...

I'm a Twitter shareholder. How does the ceo get away with turning down that much money? Secondly, Twitter consistently shows bias against half the users. When will shareholders start some kind of legal action?

is this because bernie is winning?

Well, I’ll be damned.

🙏🏽

This is rich.

Your move, Facebook!

Yay!

Grats liberals

Brilliant!!

But President Trump and Republicans can still post videos of Democrats talking. That's all their ads were gonna be anyway.

The Russians are going to be PISSED!!!!!!

Best thing I seen all day.

One man's political ad is another man's public service announcement psa

Wonder if political posts would still be banned if Democrat’s had raised $175 million last quarter like Trump did?

Land of the free slowly becoming china’s little sister.

Good!

That’s too bad. I liked what several Democratic candidates were posting, especially Beto. Julian is also one of favorites.

Thank you! It’s why I left Facebook.

funny how people are up and up about twitter silencing the voices they disagree. Do you not see the banning ALL political ADs? Less add is better for my feeds

Trump is one giant ad, so I guess we finally get to dump trump

JimBonz Except Dump had one on tonight. So jack, what's the deal?

Good.. I'm proud of you dude. Now.. dnt be like IG and sell Twitter to that dxck Zuckerberg

Now end algorithmic manipulation.

Twitter you did the right thing

Thank you Twitter JackDorsey good decision.

He did the math, Trump has more money, younger voters are on Twitter, this move will hurt GPO more than Dems.

Maybe twitter will be somewhat bearable now

And will be reversed as soon as Kompromat of Jack appears.

Hope Twitter does it (1)It will remove the divisive, insulting, lying posts filling the thread (2)It leaves the money to be spent on higher quality media ads (3)Usual activities of POTUS can be posted instead of advertising (4)Many Americans make decisions from TV & print media

Great idea to stop the fake news spewed by Russia & the right wingers, 👍🏽 VoteBlue2020

Let me guess, meaning you’ll be blocking the The Political Ad of the Centruy, POTUS realDonaldTrump during the impeachment vote? I wouldn’t doubt it for a second.. TrustThePlan

Giant US corporations serve US n make money

unixdoss Thankyou Twitter

Thank goodness !

This is what facebook should do but fuckerberg is too money hungry it's disgusting. he's the same guy that said no one should have as much money as him yet he let's income and $$ control his decision making for a company that hasn't had money troubles since becoming monetized

Thank you 🙏 smart choice

Thank you!!

How can this work though? Every time a politician tweets, true or false, it’s an advert for themselves, albeit an unpaid ad.

Good. I’m sick of seeing all the liberal Democrat ads that pop up in my timeline 24 hours a day.

What do they mean by political ads

Jack uses Twitter to silence, control our voices. This idea makes no sense. He should make Twitter a playground for elementary school kids. Maybe then he’ll be able to really control.

Why is everyone so happy. This is a sad day for social media. Publishers not a platform. Seems suspect. Are the socialist losing? I don’t believe this would happen if one of the socialist candidates was winning.

thanks god i hate seing libs s

I like the concept, but we all know that we're just gonna see a lot more paid posters and Russian bots posting the political ads themselves to make up for it. Unless you ban all political posts, it won't matter.

What they NEED to do is SHUT TRUMP UP. If I tweeted as much as this fool does, my FAMILY and My job is NOT receiving the attention it should have. 🤷‍♀️

I’m sure shareholders want to hear that.

Is that for all politics or just Conservatives and Republicans

All those who believe it jump out the window

Good!

Good decision, it's out of control so get rid of ALL of it

Only because Twitter's ad revenue is small for political ads..

Confirming highest bidder wins political noise.

Way better move than Facebook labeling Breitbart a credible news source

And how about Screaming Demon Mark Fuckerberg?

Noice

soulwhisper2016 THANK YOU

But still allowing the biggest offenders of hate speech and lies to stay 😜

**Unless it’s Democrat’s.

Great move for the stock holders - sell, sell, sell.

Twitter enforce your own rules especially with politicians- they need twitter but twitter doesn't need their violent and racist speech - which is making twitter part of the assault on certain groups and cultures

How about Facebook?

Short that stock!

Thank. Fucking. God.

Principle before money MarkZuckerberg

Bullshit, they will still promote Leftists

Why it not fair

Smartest thing EVER

Vetooo

They're only going to ban ads for conservative candidates, and not liberal ones

Thanks Jack

Cool

Oh no where will Warren shovel her garbage now?

Good decision!

lookner Ban everything.

Best news yet!

MidwinCharles Twitter and not Facebook?😕

Great news!

Whatbthey really meannis they know realDonaldTrump has great advertising influence and the democrats do not.

outstanding, pls just ban political twitter handles also

This is good.

Thank you jack this is a great move and all of us in this country appreciate the change.

❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽♾

It is only because he hates Trump!

_ReaalAmerican_ AWESOME!!!! Thank you jack

Twitter saw the craziness Facebook is going through and was like couldn’t be me 😂😂😂😂😂

Great move Jack.

They should ban twitter instead

Perpetual_Now Good for you, Twitter Now you, Facebook! facebook

Thank you, Jack.

how do i get rid of all politics

Twitter is already a far left platform

Thank you, I think. You’re absolutely correct to do this, which Facebook should too, but I’m skeptical as to what you’ll get out of this other than goodwill.

Great news!

If its not done correctly w a team specific to doing politics w no bias , it can become a complete disaster and lots of issues if Mark doesnt have this done correctly and administered w the the right recquirements.. Politics is a slippery slope , i hope he knows what he is doing

Smart move

Yes!!!! Now Facebook and Google need to (HONESTLY) get the hell out of advertising politics. Their owners and employees can support whomever they please, but using their platforms to influence (or interfere, Zuckerberg and Google) is a big NO. Good on you, jack, thank you.

I think facebook will need to sincerely reconsider until they iron out every facet and detail and not lose a thing, its a matter of how the contract is set up, making sure there is oversight and verification and legalease on the ads that would recquire editing /updates to be done

I think he is being smart..its not worth the darned stress unless they have like enough staff and admins to fact check and I really dont want to see Mr Dorsey end up,down this same road. believe it or not there is a way to do it, but its been a mess to the point I dont blame him

Newyorker2212 maddow Will she ever talk to Jack of Twitter regarding no more Political Ads !

Does this mean I will no longer be asked to donate to HeelsUpHarris or any of her desperate friends?

Now ewarren will stop trying to buy me drinks at least. My wife was getting mad.

Republican shadowbanning MINUS political ads PLUS Democrat tweet&retweet promotion EQUALS a cleverly concealed form of censorship Twitter is monopolizing liberal propaganda, denying conservatives 1stAmendment rights. That's really what's going on realDonaldTrump

K_Creations Thank you Twitter for not allowing political ads. Facebook should do exactly the same.

Then why did I JUST see an ad by Donald fucking Trump?

From the ppl who brought us shadow banning. A year from the election with the Republican war chest over flowing. Oh yaa we can trust you.

All or none? Not a bad policy.

Is he trying to kill the stock? Does this include all political ads, state, municipal, congress, etc? This would be a monumental loss for the company.

BS

Didn’t he used to be bald?

I see tweets from people I don’t follow, so whatever jack.

Good job

Facebook could never. Zuckerberg is a damn disgrace.

Good call

Good. I am sick of seeing Democrat ads popping up on my feed.

Only 20% of Americans use Twitter. Only 7% of tweets are political. Why stop it? What is Dorsey afraid of?

banpoliticiansfromtwitter

Who will be making the call that tweet is political ad or just a politician informing America? jack freespeach

Good

Hey Twitter...we don’t need you to protect us.

Fucking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!

👍🏼

That explains the crazy increase in Twitter promotions. Seems every fourth tweet in my timeline is a promoted tweet. So I'm just starting to click on all of them. I guess I'm making money for Jack but at the same time pissing off some advertisers

TheBlueGem3 Beautiful idea🙌🏽😄 facebook should take notes and follow Twitter’s footsteps. Political ads dont need to be on here. Candidates & their campaign staff can advocate for themselves. This is why i dont use facebook anymore.

This is the best idea fucking EVER.

This is FANTASTIC news. Fuck them politicians. Now I really don't have to deal with it.

Question : Will we no longer see President Trump's tweets about what he's done , cares about, what he thinks about something, or what he plans to do? Are PresTrump's words going to be considered advertising

jack way to go! Country before profits! A true American!

Pathetic

Other social media platforms looking at mark zuckerburg getting grilled by Congress and be like

+100 Jack Biz

Good

mat_jane_de_yar Twitter is full of shit..

you NEED to be doing the same MARK! Making sure politicians can lie on your platform right before the election?! 🤨🤔 with that move we all know you’re trying to get the clown of the white house and all of his lies re-elected smfh facebook

This is a very smart move. Congrats. Oh, but please let the man baby continue. Very soon he’s going to need a bigger shovel.

YEAH!!

Your move, Zuck.

Hey Jack, Twitter is free political advertising. We users already know.

Great decision Twitter jack I wish other platforms would follow your lead on this! I also wish you would enforce Twitter rules on POTUS and Members of Congress. They are not above the law nor should they be above Twitter rules. Twitter

That’s good! That’s the right thing to do in this day and age!

Twitter is 1000 times better than fb. Or at least it's CEO is 1000 time better than fb's

But wa he asked about...

Does that mean we can not tweet to one another what we have read and heard? Can we share the news? Is the news video considered advertising? Are news paper items & magizine news articles considered advertising? To me it is news and not advertising.

Trump always on Twitter or Golfing

I love Twitter DeleteFacebook

SethAbramson Good call jack

But won't ban leftists or media for putting out lies?! So much responsibility!

why he no ban cnn?

Another Crushing blow to the DNC 🤣❄️

They need laws for the mainstream media so we aren’t getting these half truths and biased articles

Spain2NYC Thank goodness. I was getting sick of paid advert TraitorTrump troll polls from PACs and crap showing in my feed just because I'm 'old enough' to fit their stupid demographic predictor. I'll read the news if I want political opinions.

It's too late.!

Twitter is Liberal!

alyssamurphy Thank you. Maybe next step is to ban all tweets by POTUS?

Thank you Jack and FU facebook and MarkZuckerberg CampbellBrown

It would be a conflict of interest for the leftist propaganda machine to sell advertising to opposing candidates 💁‍♀️

Great idea! Wish FB would do the same!

Dorsey is a complete moron who couldn't find his way out of a paper bag even if it was opened for him!

Good move. If only I could move the 15 years of pictures to Twitter I would

Excellent! Thank you, Twitter. Now please ban trump.

'ban all political ads'. Huh. I wonder why they would intentionally be willing to lose all that advertising revenue? 🙄 Let's see: Rampant shadow-banning of conservative tweets & trending topics.... Ya, I give up. 🙄

Every tweet out there is political advertising

How about them bots now jack? Like the millions on Trump's account, along with most of the right-wing propagandists..

Cool but please ban Trump now. He's had enough free exposure and you've had enough free media attention with him here.

Your move, Facebook Facebook DeleteFacebook

There's ads on here ?

im cool with that honestly

Vote for Trump 2020

Thank you jack twitter.

kerner_gary Good.

We already have a platform for pictures of grandchildren called Facebook. Move onto the next platform, any recommendations out there?

Cool. Can we get an edit button now? jack

So the erroneous tweets from politicians get to stay up?

Halleujah !!

Big money in chaos. Uge!

Dirty democrats

Well done!

Perfect!

I so approve of this.

I’ll believe it when I see it

Thanks. Good job.

carol_33410 👍🏽

After I have had, Kamla, Beto, Elizabeth, and Creepy uncle Joe on pages for weeks.

Good on you jack.

👏👏👏👏

Facebook is a sewer. Almost every ad, political or not is scammy

Haven't seen any political ad on twitter anyways and even if I did it won't influence my decision on whom to vote anyways. This is just frog hairs getting all media attention.

Finally no more Elizabeth Warren ads!

The conservative argument is stronger than the liberal argument. That's the reason for this censoring.

Can’t say I blame him. It’s the only way to satisfy it.

Time to re -CHALLENGE 🕦🏧🔗 CitizensUnited v.FEC MoscowMitch v.FEC democracy Facebook

So proud of Twitter! Glad you made the right choice!

Atleast fb publically tells you their political ads are allowed to be misleading and illegitimate

Good then I will stop seeing all the shitty democrat candidates ads

Hey facebook OwnerFacebook see this! Look at Jacks assessment seems reasonable if it’s not about the money. Your $110 million a day is ridiculous!

This is good. A good move.

Thank you Twitter for helping to keep Democracy intact!!!

Oh my god finally. Can they ban the politicians too?

Good

Where was this when Obama used Facebook to get elected

Thank you!!👏👏👏👏👏

😂😂😂

does this also mean for both democratic political ads?

The evolution of Facebook is strange. It’s beginnings as a hook up site for Harvard students. Now: trump wanted a faster way to manipulate polling data , then along came Facebook, sponsored by Kisleyak. ‘We’ll manage your data,and sift through it for free’

Wonder how long that will last?

AOC! Congresswoman Fu***d Mark Zuckerberg ☺️😂🤣😭 but Twitter was impacted 😜

Thank you, no more pleas and begging to GOP Senators like Collins with paid promotions in the news feeds whenever anti-abortion bills come up in the future. President Trump and the GOP thanks you!!!

So that’s why I have seen all those liberal posts on my feed. It’s all been Pocahontas ads

Damn, parscale job just got harder; won’t be able manipulate social media like he did in 2016. I guess he still has facebook ....

And so it begins. And they call Trump a Nazi. Too funny.

Maybe jack could do something about Bernie and Warren's tweets always popping up though I follow neither.😠😠😠😠😠😠

Great. Ban political ads from TV.

Why pay when you can just give it to DNC for free. Joke

In other words you liberals can’t stand to see realDonaldTrump win again I’ll be watching for any “democratic infrastructure “ if one democrat gets advertisements in sneaky ways my 👀 on you twitter

LOL. Trump can't be beaten. You can try everything but he's still going to win. Trump2020

What the what

Only Russian robots allowed!

And if u going 2 do that, then ban all politics. No paste no copy no talk of politics. Period

Practice run before 2020!

When Obama used social media it was celebrated as Innovative, cutting edge . Trump does it , it's evil , that needs to be stopped at all costs.

TwitterSupport I don't mind ending paid political ads. I choose to follow, who I follow! So, my follows are earned! I do mind the constant editing, losing followers, T/RT, other stats... Detouring search requests, blocking conservatives, and trying to feed me your news.

What about newspapers ? Tv ? Radio ? Billboards etc.

wow Twitter makes a good decision for once

The reason is dems are out of money and republicans will smoke them. It’ll be a nice break from ads but the reason of decision isn’t genuine. If tables were turned it would be allowed. Watch how they enforce it won’t be nice. realDonaldTrump LindseyGrahamSC VP GovMikeHuckabee

Well done!

Not sure he really agrees but I do!

Uhoh! So I guess we have 28 days left to say GoBernie WarrenForPresident ? I’m glad their won’t be any Russian blow on the wires this time come Nov 22. I’ll miss rooting for my candidates though.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Putin upset about this.

This is brilliant.

Politicians should not be on Twitter

But he's ok with posting whitewashing of terrorists, the typical American hypocrisy!

Good!

Okay but native advertising is more of the problem. Where you are manipulated and deliberately left confused over if it is an ad. The disclaimer sponsored content deliberately comes too late and people often are not told what it means. It's seedy, dishonest, and disrespectful.

LeWarriorSilenc

Believe me, Democrats' advertising is way more desperate than Trump's. And this ban means those pesky Dem ads are gonna be gone as well, to which I say

Why run paid political ads on Twitter when politicians can lie directly to voters on their Twitter feeds for free.

Bravo. Smart move considering the situation Facebook is in. Now what about all those Bots..

Does this include all of Trump's endorsements of candidates?

Zuck thanks you.

Bye Jack.

Good. Now let’s ban KPOP stand

They’re not effective with people who actually have a clue. So, who cares?

Great idea, Jack.

I think this is all a swerve. We'll see what happens after this 'ban' comes into effect

This might look reasonable but unfortunately there are many well documented complaints of Twitter staff shadow banning conservatives and manipulating natural distribution patterns in favor of the Democrat party. Political ads are part of life: on TV, newspapers & social media.

Translation: There's no way in hell we can win unless we silence Trump

?that is more than a thought. many people turn off TVGuide or channel hop, when TheDemocrats GOPLeader GOPChairwoman advertise. Post_Script: ElectoralCollge, 'One Party or Die!' post_post_script: if you got an iq, then darpa god is killing your MomsDemand better USA2!

Bravo Twitter 👏🏼

thank fuck

It is right decision because the social media is a people looking for some entertainment not political parties

If you want to know why Trump appears to want to be a dictator while preferring to golf & make money, a loosely connected group of old German spies named “Borgman”, such as “Ruth Borgman Akers” the SS Camp Guard, last known Endwell NY area, or her Renee Ruth Akers will know.

Ban ALL political ads on TV, radio, cable and all streaming platforms while you are at it! We don't need it!

Smart move. Periodt.

Sooo socialist

When trump starts yammering, will they cut him off too?

That’s a smart move. If you can’t do it in a way that is with the proper controls, just don’t do it. jack knows that twitter can survive without political ads

does this include the president announcing his campaign rallies

How does Jack define ads that are misleading? Each side says that about the other but may or may not necessarily be true. How will Twitter obstain from its own internal bias?

THANK YOU!

Just when we were having fun...🤠

Unless you are a Democrat...

Good . Now ban trump . Thank you . Have a great day

JackDorsey is a social media hero🙌💃 Twitter

But they will still censor and delete conservative voices & opinions, right?

PogieJoe That's... actually a good idea. They'll just shitpost anyway, but it's a good idea...

As if that’s going to do a damn thing 🙄 There has to be 5,000 bot/troll tweets for every 1 political ad

Thank you JackDorsey. Now how can you keep Uncle Mike and Aunt Marie from going at it during Thanksgiving dinner?

Trump has way more money for ads and Twitter has way more young people on it....so the ban effectively helps support Democrats by banning Trimp

Good

Well, you either ban all pol ads, or let everything go. Either way is fine, I don't get my news from either, and can do with less ads in general.

Now what about private accounts, such as the ones owned or operated by a party member or his publicist? Do those count? Or is this strictly just paid for add space?

What about all the fake accounts 95% of activity on a Democratic politician’s Tweets is by paid shills. twitter

Now do legacy media. Ban all political ads.

As long as All Political Ads are taken down.

How will that work? Every time a politician tweets, thats an advertisement for that particular politician. Does Jack Dorsey not understand how Twitter works?

This is not the best way to do this. Only ads that intentionally misdirect or lie should be banned.

Tweet_Dec Pretty much Everything is political.

Ban all conservative political ads you meant

Good. They can start right now.

If I see one libertard ad I will sue

hey jack maybe ban all the nazis?

The Republicans benefit from this more than Democrats. Democrats don’t have the money to excessively spend on political ads.

Great, I don’t want to see any promoted ads or I will report them all! I’ve already blocked Warren, Biden and Sanders

Wish they'd work on their Bot problem too.

Whoa. Maybe they can stop censoring shit, too.

Now if only we could stop the trolls. Twitter facebook 🤔

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT.....

Will that include Trump's tweets?

However, all content originating from Russia or Ukraine, will continue

Thank you Twitter! I am so impressed! One step closer to dumping facebook.

Wont stop them from highlighting the left like they love to do.

BlissTabitha but JACK I'm👀politicaladvertising PROMOTEDads DAILY for SenWarren SenKamalaHarris BarackObama MichelleObama JoeBiden ONLY Democrats Not a single ad for POTUS realDonaldTrump Isnt that the definition of LiberalHypocrisy You said u were better than that on seanhannity

But it’s ok that twitter can ban those who support trump?

Narrator: At least we're not Facebook.

Trump is an everyday political ad. Twitter needs to ban him

Well don't include banning Andrew Yang, he's the best candidate!

Liberals are afraid of loosing next election. Trump doesn’t need advertisements. He can simply tweet. This is to screw over republicans running for Congress.

We'll See If ALL Just Means Conservatives.....

Now you want to ban because you know there's alot of firepower against trump!

it’s definitely a start but I don’t see this cleaning up the main issue on Twitter which is the spread of misinformation via tweets (which are not ads).It also does not prevent candidates on either side from simply tweeting. They just aren’t paying to promote their ads anymore.

Good. Those ads get on my nerves anyways, and because of the way twitter works it only gives me ads of people I already support

NickCiletti 🙌🏼

......smart.

Good move

Now ban all political ads that candidates run on their own twitter pages.

Jack Dorsey tells his shareholders that he won't accept money from political advertisers. No dividend for you!

Can’t wait to see trumps reaction to this trending topic lol!

Will this include fundraising by political parties?

Lmfao yet they’re still gonna promote the candidates they want to win on the “trending” section. Shits fake. Just a way to stop the right from using their platform by using adverts.

Good

SethAbramson This is a smart move on Twitter's part. It will survive this atrocious administration, the next election, and replace Facebook. Well done.

But it can’t just be America , the rest of the countries must be included in this If not , their will be a backlash worse then what is happening at Facebook.

Finally...Someone with a Soul. Thank you Jack Dorsey!

Hallelujah!

Disgusted by Twitter! Censorship is NEVER the answer! Twitter should be encouraging people to read, research, think instead of restricting ads that lead to discussion. Twitter made Influencers more relevant; Twitter cowardly and less relevant.

In other words they know twitter helps Republicans so ban it...

thank the lord

SamanthaJPower Yes, options are anything goes, ban or police. Policing seems virtually impossible and anything goes will come with blowback.

Dorsey is a bitch

Good. I’m sick of seeing promoted political ads on here. Honestly, most people belong to the blue or red side and already know who they’re gonna vote for. If you’re blue, you’re gonna vote for whoever gets the nomination because you don’t like Trump, and vice versa for red. 🙄🤷🏻‍♀️

Finally. However, Warren is still offering to share a beer with someone if they chip in $3.

Thank you Twitter

Smart move.

Social Media: Twitter Antisocial Media: Facebook Good job jack 👍

More silencing of conservatives.

I’m impressed!!

You can bet Twitter will loose half the country.

Why did House Democrats just block an amendment to their impeachment resolution allowing the President's counsel to sit in on hearings? The president has a constitutional right to an attorney Adam Schiff is running a soviet-style impeachment scam RT if you're SICK of it

Twitter made a boss move, because I was so close to leaving.

Thank you!!!!!!

This is a good start. Now ban ALL politicians' accounts as well with the exception of POTUS, and the White House accounts.

Great move jack and TwitterSupport

Let's see TV do this 🤣🤣🤣

They could just tweet it out instead right?

therealJFKFAN And yet, jack refuses to apply his platform's rules to realDonaldTrump allowing him to spew all the hate and lies he wants, direct and unchecked.

Hillary Clinton killed Jeffrey Epstein.

facebook and Twitter ? Just wow good job jack

therealJFKFAN facebook are you paying attention? Are you too greedy? BanPoliticalAds

Also Twitter has dancing porcupine. SubGenius

Cautiously optimistic.

Translation: Twitter is silencing the voices of those with whom it disagrees. This is a common theme shared by tyrants throughout human history. What are you afraid of jack ?

So glad Dorsey is doing this. I guess I can get over getting suspended for 8 days for calling Judge Janine a b****h.

SamanthaJPower Good move, Twitter.

SamanthaJPower Very bold Patriotic move!

Good! I stopped using Facebook BECAUSE of all the fake BS being shared by friends and family alike. Glad I won’t have to see it here.

SamanthaJPower Jack Dorsey is now officially my hero. Will think about phasing out of Facebook.

facebook heard that Mark!!!

Only if they seem to favor a conservative

Sounds like a good plan. Sometimes its fun correcting the idiots that post them though. :)

They're doing this to censor ideas they disagree with. Even his tweet that ideas have to be ‘earned’ is code for 'liberals have the best ideas so they will be the only ones heard'.

I wish it would include hashtags, but at least it's a start.

maddow AriMelber MSNBC ABC NBC CBS CNN

Thanks jack

👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽 I will be using Twitter ALOT

shaunking This is great news

shaunking Kamikaze bots 😒

Meh...

We'll see

Your move Mark.

Your Fake News!

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Political ads were never Twitter's problem. Tweets are Twitter's problem.

wow

Thank you Twitter for not subjecting your users to the coming lies, misinformation, disrespect, deceit, falsehoods that are shamelessly, sadly used in political ads. And the Bots have lost a platform! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

But Twitter will still actively censor any Conservative thoughts/tweets...

.facebook needs to do the same

Jacky boy is smarter than he looks. 🙌

glennasonly Thank you Twitter. Can you also purge Donald trumps fake followers? jack

Bravo.

Thank you!

Thank you Twitter!

episcopalcafe Great move Twitter now you need to shut done the vile account realDonaldTrump

SethAbramson Smart. Now you, Zuk.

Advantage Trump!

Great move, Twitter. Simply put, ads, by nature, are annoying. No matter the subject.

Great news

This is the right think. Good job Dorsey!

Genius!

Completely on board with this decision! Good job Twitter.

Good call. Its a headache. But this is complicated because people will question what is considered political.

SethAbramson Well done jack

facebook should follow Twitter. Stop spreading lies. Good job jack.

Or does he mean just conservative & Trump supporting political ads?

I commend you. It’s the right decision. Thanks Jack

Turns out responsible social media CEOs put Patriotism above profiteering! Good job, Mr. Dorsey!

Good move! There are more than enough political ads out on the tv, radio, mail, signs, billboards, etc, etc. We truly don't need anymore.

Works for me.

Probably for the best. Just crazy that it had to come to this but it’s the world we live in.

Ban all political ads, but keep running all of the left leaning fake news unfit to print. Well done jack

Nice timing when it is close to the elections. I hope the ban applies to all parties if this is your decision. Hopefully, you don’t conveniently reverse this decision after the 2020 elections.

Oh facebook? It’s time you did the same.

Thanks jack

Great Decision!!!!

Great idea.

Now if we can get them to evenly enforce their own policies against hate speech.

It’s either all or nothing. Trying to police it, is like herding cats. I think this is the right decision.

Congratulations

Jack Very good decision, thank you. Now if you could just convince Mark to follow your lead.

jack Twitter what about all these bots?

YES!

Cue handjob motion

Excellent, no more promoted Tweets from Dems begging for signatures & money bombarding my account. 👍🏻

How many ads are political on twitter

small1ldy1 twitter Jack

This is code for “I am banning Republican ads”

DrRimmer Drats! There goes my chance for becoming Miss World and Wanting world peace.

nancylevine I affirm your choice twitter!

What ABOUT THE FUKIN BOTS 🤖 THO!

MsPrissPhred Jack, ban political tweets also from twitter

What about them Banning free speech and being pro censorship with their users

What a joke! They'll only ban the ones they don't agree with.

Democracy killer

SethAbramson Thank you Twitters

Good. Now the fairness doctrine of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) needs to be reinstated.

He means conservative only.

I always said Twitter is better than Facebook

Will they ban realDonaldTrump also?

csgazette 🙌🏻🎉

Well, Jack Dorsey found a good way to BAN JoeBiden, ewarren, SenKamalaHarris, & SenSanders & other Progressives off of Twitter. Good news. Next, Jack will find a way to make every Conservative tweet a Political Add, so he & Support can justify them being banned. Hmmm?

It's about time f*ck facebook

Now do the Nazis. jack

Great. Delete the Trump family accounts. They are nothing but political ads.

Now if Twitter would just stop with the pro-Israel bent! Come on MR. jack - you can do it... or can you FightThePressure?

Oh wow, this is great news! This is a smart call. I keep urging facebook to do the same thing.

Smart

jack understands what's important while Facebook is trash like it's CEO

👍👍👍

I like this and am interested to see the impact it has.

be interesting to see this in action. somehow I think we are still going to be seeing Left candidate ads but less on the Right. Which is the point really. To give twitter the technical grounds to police the Right while neglecting the Left.

Jack Dorsey the only people that interfere to the 2016 election were the liberal media. That's proven with all the emails. That's indisputable. We have all the emails proving it. So if you want to act fairly stop allowing the liberal propaganda is Media to push their BS.

Now if they can purge the Bots

barricko_bama Come on Facebook do your part to protect our elections! Or is Zuckerberg too busy dining with Republicans and taking add money in Rubles

SethAbramson How does this happen without removing realDonaldTrump from Twitter?

Meanwhile at facebook they go on the record saying real or fake everything goes but then they have the courage to take a stand against- 🍆💦 ——

lookner I'm gonna call bullshit on this..

And ban anyone who even talks about politics

SethAbramson

SethAbramson Please tell me this is for real?

Good!!!

So what? It’s not like Twitter was a hotbed for political ads. Twitter isn’t doing a damn thing until they address the trolls and bots that are doing the work of thousands of ads. They aren’t doing ANYTHING.

And yet Antifa accounts exist

Great and thank you for understanding the importance to democracy.

I can dig it 👍

No one was buying ads anyway?...

So realDonaldTrump is dominating in the social media world so you try and take the advantage away?

Now ban Trump

The DOJ will threaten Twitter and they’ll end up walking this back 🤷‍♂️

This is the right move.

YES!

Does this mean they'll be kicking out the ITA as well? Because they're still all over Twitter, trying to start fights and drive wedges.

BDBoopster I hope that turns out to be true.

Smart

That was easy. A simple solution.

well done. hopefully others will follow until they get how to police ads sorted (should not be by the tech companies).

Thank you!!

Today I was happy to Unblock jack! Thanks, Twitter. TruthMatters

Yes! Calm all this crap down!

So is Twitter banning realDonaldTrump Cause he’s the worst political ad on here

Awesome!! jack and Twitter thank you for creating a space free from political advertising. And for those going in about “free speech,” no one is banning political CONTENT. Just ADVERTISEMENTS. facebook Should catch the fuck up.

SethAbramson DeleteFacebook

Ban Trump while you’re at it.

Good move.

wagnerblair France enters an electoral “discretionary period” prohibiting French media fr quoting presidential candidates or supporters until polls prohibiting campaign communications for 44 hours before every French presidential and legislative election.

So I am guessing that if a politician puts adds up which they have been doing on Twitter that we should report it? And Jack will take it down?

Thank you Twitter

iZarzecki Hallelujah! Thank you Twitter

SethAbramson That does not include Russian dis-information campaigns via bot farms, does it?

More money for Facebook and other social media. Hurts the less know candidates

ZekeJMiller Good move, except they have lots of ways of pushing out the crap, Brad parscale and his Russian friends know how to disguise it...

Cc: gugachacra

Great News !!! 👍

This will make Twitter that much more of an enjoyable experience. I think most of us are sick to death of political bullshittery from both sides anyway.

Our mission at is to build the social news network that ends fake news. Follow us Overlooked_Inc

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Does that include ALL posted by tRump?

SethAbramson Facebook should do the same. And no shared stories from websites that are fake or have untrue information.

twitter I may be wrong but adults use Twitter right? Not a good idea to start banning ads but I am not your adviser so I will keep my opinions to myself. jack

Love it.

The Tweet below this one was a political ad.

Smart move

SethAbramson Thank you jack !!

Riiiiight

Now could Facebook do the same?

Jack Dorsey is a smart man in my book.

Death of twitter

lookner If this is true Twitter .. thank you.

SethAbramson Interesting.

That's the most intelligent thing to do!

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SethAbramson But Twitter won't do anything about the Trump trollbots or the blatant bullshit coming from Republican Reps and Senators and Trump himself. A lie is a lie

way to go Dorsey! it’s not like you need the money. Right Zuckerberg? Take notes! DeleteFacebook

That's a lot of 💰

SethAbramson Just them pesky Russian bots to deal with next.

will be known as the Twitter Enlightenment

Glad to hear it. jack

Thank you!!

SethAbramson DeleteFacebook

bobpi31415 But will the mad man in the WH listen?

SethAbramson Great move!

SethAbramson Thank you, Twitter ! Now GetRidOfTheBots :) Thanks in advance!

Yes!!!

WELL THANK YOU VERY MUCH Twitter jack !! This is welcome and we appreciate you throwing boatloads of money away for the greater good. PLEASE SPEAK TO Zuckerberg

Good

SethAbramson Thank you, Twitter

SethAbramson Thank you, Twitter. Facebook should take notes.

Perfect

SethAbramson Excellent

Good for Twitter

Ban Potus

That’s nice but maybe don’t be so absurd about some of the hate speech rules. I see all kinds of evil things but got thrown in Twitter jail for the most inane of playground style taunts.

PadresCentral

Thank God

BRAVO Twitter!!

Twitter you made the right call here. Your turn facebook

Porn? ✅ Vote for me? ❌

If Twitter wants to censor our tweets, they might as well do this as well...

Thank you jack ! Wise! Thanks Twitter !

Finally something Twitter gets right.

Is this why Twitter stock took a nose dive? Hate that part but like your ethics!

Thank you Twitter

Now if FB would follow... impeachment wishfulthinking WednesdayVibes

now do realDonaldTrump

there is a God!

Good news!

Good move

a_fly_guy Vipassana kicking in finally!! Now do nazis 😃

If FB does this, I will go back.

*Correction* - CEO Jack Dorsey says Twitter has decided to ban all political ads by candidates not sharing his & Twitter's beliefs

When do we get to ban Donald Trump?

Thank you Twitter.

facebook should follow suit

good decision
