LONDON: Twitter has banned all political advertising worldwide, saying that the reach of such messages "should be earned, not bought", reports BBC.
"While internet advertising is incredibly powerful and very effective for commercial advertisers, that power brings significant risks to politics," company CEO Jack Dorsey tweeted. Social media rival Facebook recently ruled out a ban on political ads. Social media firms are under particular scrutiny ahead of US elections in 2020 and Dorsey explained his position in a thread of tweets.
