Zuckerberg: FB to allow users to turn off political ads
Facebook, Inc. plans to give its users an option to turn off political ads on its platforms, the company’s co-founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg unveiled on Tuesday. In an article published by USA Today, Zuckerberg asserted that Facebook “has a responsibility not just to prevent voter suppression but also to actively support well-informed voter engagement, registration and turnout.”
Therefore, the California-headquartered tech giant decided to create the Voting Information Center that aims to provide social network users with “authoritative information, including how and when to vote, as well as details about voter registration, voting by mail and information about early voting.”
The company also improved election interference protection on its platform by “investing billions of dollars in technology and hiring tens of thousands of people to work on safety and security,” he added.
