The policy, first introduced during the 2020 election, is meant to prevent misinformation about voting, including candidates prematurely claiming victory before a race is called.
Google is implementing the policy “out of an abundance of caution and to limit the potential for confusion, given the likelihood that votes will continue to be counted after Election Day,” per a spokesperson.
Staggering. I’m pretty sure they stop showing super bowl ads after the game is played on Sunday, too.
How about they block all the ads forever always?
How about you stop doing the thing that pays your bills?
Working an honest job, providing a service that other people appreciate?
How about everyone else does that too.
And how about we criminalize all methods of revenue that piss everyone off, like landlords & advertisers💡😃
That’s only for rich people.
Sounds like election interference interference.
How magnanimous
I would have assumed that any advertisement tagged as “political” or “election” related would be removed on November 6th as part of the contract. Who would want to spend any money to promote an event after the event takes place?
Bad actors who want to rile up unrest while the votes are being counted.
