Meta, the parent company of Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, recently announced it will keep its ban on new political ads even after the US Election Day,  aiming to reduce misinformation during the post-election period.

Some 10 million people in the United States sees politically divisive ads on Facebook that the company says have been purchased in Russia in the months before and after last year’s US presidential election, Facebook says on Monday.

Facebook Inc and Alphabet Inc’s Google have little choice but to rein in internet political ads in the face of growing U.S. government pressure, a panel of advertising consultants and executives says.

Facebook Inc launches an overhaul of how it handles paid political advertisements, giving a concession to US lawmakers who have threatened to regulate the world's largest social network over secretive ads that run during election campaigns.
