There should be a class-action shareholder lawsuit because of this. One would have to be a fool to own their stock if they reject that kind of Revenue.

What is a political as anyways? Is an ad about climate change a political ad? I bet they’ll say it’s not but it is obviously is. If someone says something about Trump is that political?

I'm not sure what the upshot will be but I wish Brad Parscale would stop detailing his plans to use data mining and social media during the 2020 election.

Telling your enemies your plans gives your enemies information to counter your plans.

IMO.

Given that Trump has far more money to spend than all the Democrats this is an anti Trump declaration. I expect almost all communication to or by identified Republicans, Christians and conservatives will be banned from the social platforms by 6 months prior to the election. FB and google will ban all Republican campaign advertising and will promote Democrat ads.

They’re doing this to hurt Trump.

Because conservatives have far surpassed the Marxists in funding and the Marxists cannot defend their policies.

Makes perfect sense for totalitarian authoritarian entities to silence everyone, in an instance like this.

This is a good sign, in that they know their ideologies are not influencing enough people to vote for them.

Their bots and oppression of conservatives are not translating to real votes.

There must be some evidence of the ads helping Trump. He can just tweet them


He has an immense war chest. Twitter doesn’t want to let him outspend his opposition.

Election interference! This lets them run liberal ads by the many liberal nonprofits as “protecting women’s right to choose” or “alphabet mafia rights” while conservatives are shut out.

I walked away from most “social” media. It was so stressful and a total cesspool.

Anything to lower Trump’s high chance of winning. This wouldn’t be happening if the Dems had it in the bag like they supposedly had it in 2016.

President Trump no longer tweet his rallies or announce upcoming events. Better be the same for the rats.

This is designed to hurt Trump or he wouldn’t be doing it.

retweeting a youtube video put together by some of the clever people...not an ad..but will they deem it such because it is done by a candidate
