Google has other gaps in their ad policies that must be addressed, but this is a very positive step. https://t.co/n888fJvpol

Not usually big fans of @google, but this is a good and necessary step for election ads.

In particular, checking ads before they go out is something that should be done regardless of an election.
Meanwhile, @Facebook continues to mail it in. https://t.co/sdaIcRn2Iy
Very interesting scoop from @sarafischer as those of us in the industry have been talking about what an ad strategy might look like for candidates and PAC's AFTER 11/3 given potential unknown results.https://t.co/KlbxIMIeCu

I hope @YouTube (and other social platforms) also adjust their policy to pull down any fake information organically surrounding the election outcome, including videos of the President claiming victory before ballots are counted. https://t.co/mkskqKvLJX

Google's plan to block all POST-election related ads is a step in the right direction. It focuses on the post-election period - which FB's ban ignores. It is wider in scope and flexible on time (might end after 7 days, but up to re-evaulation). BUT 1/https://t.co/mYlYGbP8y7

But there’s a big problem...
“Holy shit,’ is what we’re thinking most of the time, like everybody,” one Facebook executive said of the current feeling about the U.S. election inside Facebook. The person spoke anonymously to discuss the mood inside the company. https://t.co/01ItkvEa2K

Good new report on the above. ⬆️ @nancyscola, do you truly believe the “do nothing” champion was Clegg? It’s surprising considering significant prior reporting by WSJ @dseetharaman and would be useful to take heat off vs more obvious, Kaplan. https://t.co/KiSB6GM8Fp

Google won't allow election-related ads on any of its platforms for at least seven days after the polls close on Election Day on Nov. 3. The company is invoking its sensitive events policy since vote-counting will take much longer than usual. In @Adweek: https://t.co/WvKdiRNtal
