Google to Ban Election-Related Ads After Election Day
Media Gears Up
Last month, Facebook also announced measures to limit potential misinformation following Election Day. The social network will ban all new political ads the week before the election. Additionally, it will block ads from political campaigns that declare early victory. As the slow tabulation of mail-in ballots threatens to elongate the result period, the media will play an outsized role in legitimizing the election. Thus, the media must make an effort to withhold any announcement of victory until local authorities have certified the vote. While that is easy enough for mainstream media outlets, the challenge is different on social media platforms, where any individual can spread information. As a result, it will be up to the gatekeepers of the country’s major social media platforms to curb the spread of false information. To this point social media companies have taken the position that they are merely platforms for the expression of free speech. It appears that they are beginning to recognize their role as arbiters of truth in the public square.Post Publications || Join us on Whatsapp || Post Disclaimer
