Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced a global ban on political ads, emphasizing that political message reach should be earned, not bought. This decision aims to address challenges in civic discourse and prevent misleading information. The move contrasts with Facebook's approach, as CEO Mark Zuckerberg opposes censoring political content. Reactions varied, with Trump's campaign criticizing the decision as financially unwise, while Biden's campaign praised it for prioritizing democracy over revenue.

Final policy details, including exceptions for voter registration ads, will be shared by November 15th.
