Meta extends ban on new political ads following US Election: Report

Meta Platforms, the parent company of Facebook, announced on Monday that it will extend its ban on new political ads following the U.S. election, with the restriction lasting until later this week. The move, detailed in a company blog post, is part of a larger strategy to counter misinformation and maintain platform integrity as votes are tallied and verified, as per Reuters.

The extension builds on policies Meta first enacted in 2020 to combat the spread of false information in the critical days surrounding an election.
