In October 2019 Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that his social media company would ban all political advertising. He stated that political messages on the platform should reach users through the recommendation of other users – not through paid reach. Proponents argue that social media companies don’t have the tools to stop the spread of false information since their advertising platforms aren’t moderated by human beings. Opponents argue that the ban will disenfranchise candidates and campaigns who rely on social media for grassroots organizing and fundraising.

No, politicians must be able to use social media freely as any other person but should be limited to that, not pay to be advertised.

It should be more limited, but not banned. Everybody should be able to learn about political parties. If it is through social media or otherwise
