The decision must be finalised and there are concerns that this ban may have negative effects on campaigns to encourage voters, as candidates should respond quickly to important news or new information, Bloomberg has reported, citing close sources on the issue.
Facebook has been constantly criticised for its decision not to actually verify political advertising, as it does other ads on the platform, writes Independent, translate Peris Periscopi.
An investigation released by Facebook has convicted the company and said it had to receive a “stronger interpretation” on its rules of voter printing.
