TaylorSwift 162,321 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 Twitter Inc on Tuesday said it would expand the types of political ads allowed on the social media platform, an apparent reversal of its 2019 global ban on political ads, as the Elon Musk-owned company seeks to grow revenue. The company tweeted it would also relax its advertising policy for "cause-based ads" in the United States, and moving forward would align its advertising policy "with that of TV and other media outlets." Twitter banned political ads in 2019 after it and other social media companies like Facebook faced widespread criticism for allowing election misinformation to spread across its services. "We believe political message reach should be earned, not bought," tweeted Jack Dorsey, Twitter's then-chief executive, in announcing the move. source https://store.taylorswift.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RahrahWitch 6,985 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 We've all seen how bad/misinformed politics can influence people but I'm not surprised, Twitter is Elon's playground now and he doesn't care who he hurts in the process. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentum 1,705 Posted January 4, 2023 Share Posted January 4, 2023 i have been consistently blocking every account promoting their tweets for a month now. you will be surprised when you actually start to pay attention to how much crap we are scrolling through. actually now, my feed is kinda bearable and I feel like I see less ads. definitely, less obnoxious ones like the ones about banks, internet providers, and football teams. you should give it a try "Δεν είσαι αγάπη.
