Twitter Bans Political Ads

This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:

THE QUICK FACTS

• On Wednesday, October 30th, Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced via a tweet thread that his company would be banning all political ads.
• Dorsey tweeted, "We’ll share the final policy by 11/15, including a few exceptions (ads in support of voter registration will still be allowed, for instance). We’ll start enforcing our new policy on 11/22 to provide current advertisers a notice period before this change goes into effect."
• The timing of Dorsey's tweets was notable, as it directly overlapped with Facebook's earnings call. Facebook has recently courted controversy with its decision to refrain from policing political ads on its platform.
