Leadership with Facebook said Thursday the company will ban new political ads from running in the week before the Nov. 3 presidential election.
Facebook acknowledged that the action is narrow, as it is banning only political ads submitted in the week before the election but still allowing those submitted before Oct. 27.
Facebook also said it will link any post from a candidate attempting to declare victory before the final results are in to vote counts from Reuters and the National Election Pool.
