Twitter is to ban all political ads around the world, saying that the scope of such messages "should be earned, not bought".

How does Dorsey justify the ban?
Web political advertisements, he stated, exhibited "entirely new challenges to civic discourse".
These difficulties included "AI based improvement of informing", "small scale focusing on, unchecked deceiving data, and profound fakes".
"It's not tenable," he stated, "for us to state: 'We're striving to prevent individuals from gaming our frameworks to spread deceiving data, buuut in the event that somebody pays us to target and power individuals to see their political advertisement… well...they can say anything they desire!'"
