Twitter tightens ban on political ads ahead of 2020 US polls



AGENCIES: Twitter Inc on Friday said said it will not allow advertisement that advocates for a certain outcome on social and political causes.

The advertisement ban, according to the social networking site, includes references to political candidates or legislation.

The popular social media site had first announced its political ads ban last month.

Twitter said it would use a combination of automated technology and human teams to enforce the new ad policies.

The move comes as campaigns for the November 2020 presidential election heat up amid growing pressure on social media companies to stop accepting ads that spread false information and could sway elections.
