Facebook will not stop political advertising
Facebook authorities have announced the launch of such ads in the face of criticism over political advertising. According to Facebook, under their new rules, political figures can make false claims in their advertisements if they want. On Facebook, they can spend money on freelance campaigns. On the other hand, the company is offering some controls for Facebook users. Users will have the opportunity to decide what kind of ads they want to see.
According to a report by the technology website The Verge, Facebook's current advertising policies have been under severe criticism since last year. The criticism has started since the announcement of a concession to promote false and false information in the advertisements of politicians. Democrats want to promote such fake advertising content around the US presidential election.

Facebook has announced that new features will be added to their Ad Library. In this, it will be seen what ads the politicians are running. The number of ads an advertiser wants to reach will also be seen. It will also have a search and filtering tool. These features will be added in the first quarter of this year.
In October last year, Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg said, "I don't think it would be fair for a non-governmental organization to censor politicians." Political advertising is an important part of freedom of speech, especially for local competitors and emerging leaders.
Last September, the Facebook authorities reported that the general principles of Facebook do not apply to politicians. However, advertising is different. This will keep them out of the political debate.
There are huge differences in Facebook's policy with other technology companies on displaying political ads. Since the criticism last October, Twitter has decided to stop showing political advertising altogether. Google also imposed a strict policy.
