A week before the US midterm elections in November, Meta (previously Facebook) stated that it would ban new political, electoral, and social issue advertisements.

During this time, advertisements that have already run before the restricted period will be permitted to run again.

According to Meta, hundreds of individuals are working on the midterm elections across more than 40 teams, and $5 billion was spent internationally on safety and security just last year.

The business stated that it will not tolerate any posts or advertisements that distort essential information regarding the voting procedure, such as the date, time, and voting procedures.
