Facebook won't allow new political ads the week before the November Presidential election

As part of the new effort, Facebook said it will take down posts that discourage people from voting by telling them they will get COVID-19 if they go to the polls.

Still, the announcement demonstrates to some degree that the company has lightened up on its hands-off approach tomoderating what politicians share.

Facebook has previously saidthat its policy is to leave questionable and divisive political ads placein the name of public interest and newsworthiness.
