Twitter is taking a stand against political advertising that can be used to spread lies and misinformation — but Facebook refuses to follow suit.
Twitter has decided to ban all political advertising, citing the risk of spreading lies and its impact on democracy. The social network made the announcement just minutes before Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg talked to analysts about his company's Q3 2019 earnings. On the conference call, Zuckerberg strongly defended political ads, and framed it as a free speech issue.
