New York Twitter will stop accepting political ads, the company's CEO, Jack Dorsey, announced Wednesday.
"We've made the decision to stop all political advertising on Twitter globally. We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought," Dorsey tweeted. "A political message earns reach when people decide to follow an account or retweet. Paying for reach removes that decision, forcing highly optimized and targeted political messages on people. We believe this decision should not be compromised by money," he added.
How about it block all political coments ?
Ridiculous policy! Censorship at its finest. If you don’t like the speech, squash it! Do we live in Russia or China ? We live in America!
Oishani1999 But First Change UR 'URBAN NAXALS Staff in INDIA' This is NaMo for 10 MORE Years, ENOUGH time 2 START our OWN Social MEDIA,like the Chinese
Thank you very much, Jack , for making this decision. You may be the first person to tell 45 that 'Sometimes it isn’t about the money.'
Just the anti-American ones
Thank you for your bold move dorsey
Liberals want all the benefits of being Americans, but they have no respects for the Constitutional rights of ALL Americans. The most offensive people in America are Liberals who violate our First Amendments rights to freedom of speech.
Great & Now Twitter Should enforce its policies on Bullying & Suspend Trump's Account Indefinitely. Trump can use Trump's potus account.
Thank you!!!!
I think this is a good decision. I really Twitter platform. Politics
Standing ovation for thoughtful decision. Facebook needs to follow your lead.
Good to hear!
Kudos to Jack Dorsey!
Meanwhile, CNN continues to run free politcal advertisements under the veil of news.
Well that BS, there are hundreds if not thousands of political operatives or volunteers tweeting political propaganda every second. This is garbage so they can censor speech they disagree with
That's nice.
This dude is just more and more awesome every single time he pops up in the news 👍 definitely the real blockchain hero
Admire him🦄
Great step by Jack dorsey!!!
Facebook should follow.
Agreed!
Dorsey 100, Szuckerberg 0
Hola MMJ_1984 .... te dejo un saludo por acá y recuerda : Chapalapachala !!!!
Thank you to Twitter for making the global ban on political ads. 🙏
Best thing I've ever seen on the internet
My PR person told me a beard lends Gravitas . Hint to your prteam . It doesn't.
I applaud Mr Dorsey.. now it's time for Mr. Zuckerburg to follow.
Trump has more $$$
Smart move
Honestly politics shouldn't be about slogans and ads anyway it should be about having something to say so that people will listen...
Probably only the Republican ones
Does that includes Tweety Amins self promotion
So now leave it to the trolls... good decision...
I guess free speech ,fake or not means nothing
Respect
They will only be accepting intel gathering so Russia can once again pick our president, ya know I’m not a violent person but Putin is starting to piss me off, killing him might be worth the risk of starting a war, but the guys gotta go
That why I love tweeter.
What’s Twitter?
Twitter you are late to tweet this 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Jack's had it.
BestNewsOfTheDay
So that means Trump’s self-promoting account will finally be taken down?
Finally we get some action from Dorsey. It's only part of the puzzle - the other part is the facilitation of misinformation rings which retweet each other with gross misrepresentations of the truth for specifically political ends. RetireTwitter, like they did with Vine.
Every Trump tweet is a political ad. Will those stop?
As long as it silences BOTH SIDES then ok.
Bravo!
Awesome, lets see if the lizard stops influencing and manipulating people
Facebook OUT, Twitter IN
Thank you Twitter & Jack Dorsey
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Good for you Twitter 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Not all heroes wear capes 👏
Good call.
What a joke, holy interview is Democrats against Trump. Where are the interviews with the Republicans
GoodJob
Ban Trump!
Trump’s Twitter is his add, and it’s free.
There’s adds on Twitter?
OutIn2020 Bawhahaha! So what! Anons make great memes that do all we need them to do.
OutIn2020 It must be true about the Democrats being broke.If they had the $, it's all you'd see.🤣
For all or just Republicans
Good
That’s awesome.
Bravo!
Very first amendment of him
This is a great first step! Now,shut down that idiot trumps account and it'll be even better.
So Warren and Harris will now leave me alone?
This guy is the opposite of Zuckerberg.
Interesting strategy❗
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Up next Facebook ?
Finally!! Someone with ethics!
Now this is going to break Trumps heart!
They'll still get posted, and taken down, and posted again, and taken down again, and posted again.... There are far too many of us.
Dear Jack, tell that to the cartels.
jack while you're at it let em know half the memes they see are just screenshotted tweets I will die on this hill
They won't accept Twitter.
Great move !
About time a platform does it!
And by that do you mean advertisements that mention a candidate? Or that pertain to issues that candidates are talking about or not talking about? Or that target a particular local event, like a pipeline installation?
👏👏👏
But still allow CNN to campaign 24/7 for Dems!
Bravo Twitter
when will that start? what is the definition of political?
Smart move, also hopefully Trump will get so up in arms he'll keep off twitter to 'protest'.
Will they stop President Trump from posting since he is in a election cycle?
Big ballz! Go twtr
Sure, political advertising only affects the most shallow and stupid but it's his decision to make on his site.
Good to hear. Now Facebook
Where oh where will trump voters get their bullshit now. One less place
Yes, so when they censor individual accounts weighted heavily on the consequences side this will heavily impact all elections, Cmon, what's the teal end game here Jack? lauraloomer WeThePeople WWG1WGA
This is the RIGHT thing to do and Facebook has to follow suit!
Oh no.. How will Liberal scum blame Russia now... Hahaha
Congrats to Jack Dorsey. Do it Facebook! No political advertisements! Nancy
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸TRUMP 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Good. The Democrats did enough damage with fake news and ads last election and still lost!
Good!
FB should do the same.
And in a secondary announcement they stated you will be seeing thousands more ads for '30 hilarious tinder profiles' and 'haunted ghost towns you need to see'. The ad nauseum click bait that ruins my twitter feed daily
Now Facebook needs to do the same.
Esq2776abe Uh huh
Best news ever.
So I don't have to see those insipid ClimateChange fear mongering lies anymore? Cool. And no more ewarren 'have a beer' posts? Count me as one happy Twitterer! This is KAG!
Including Liberals , are you aiming to only shut down conservative? Plz equality
Well done Twitter. Good call. Other platforms need to follow.
Thank you jack !!! 👏👏👏 Twitter
Bold move!! 💕
Sounds like a possibly good idea if ALL mean ALL
Hey jack ... why are you censoring me? Is it because I speak the TRUTH about CNN and their support of a sexual predator? (donlemon) the facts are the facts. It’s not going to end well for them.
I doubt it. They will eventually accept Democratic advertising only.
Well all of their ads are being blocked on twitter, thats just the word on the street🤔
Excellent move
At least someone is doing the responsible thing after 2016 fiasco!
Perfect!
That's what's up
Thank goodness.
scared. they know trump is going to win
How the hell will I know who to vote for now?
He can afford to say no I am guessing
When's Twitter going to deplatform Richard Spencer, David Duke and other white supremacists.
Now the “news” sites will ramp up their propaganda to pick up the slack👌🏻
It's ok, they still have their legions of idiots (both sides) to post their propaganda
Banning Speech is Bad Shadow Banning is Worse
Good job Twitter jack for taking step to end disinformation. facebook Zuckerberg we are watching...
Isn’t realDonaldTrump ‘s account one large political ad?
This is a definite socila media win. Facebook would be extremely wise to follow suit.
Twitter Thank you
So you will be banning Trump because every Tweet is a political ad
Que democrats whining about unfair procedures at twitter.
Did you hear? ewarren, finally no more beer grabbing. You are released.
👏👏👏 well done!
Thank you Twitter!!
Great move.
RightSideOfHistory Take note facebook
I don't believe it!
ponto para o twitter 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Does this mean I wont have pop ups of Warren's ad on a give away trip for drinking beer and spending the day with her?
Great Job Twitter
