In October 2019 Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that his social media company would ban all political advertising. He stated that political messages on the platform should reach users through the recommendation of other users – not through paid reach. Proponents argue that social media companies don’t have the tools to stop the spread of false information since their advertising platforms aren’t moderated by human beings. Opponents argue that the ban will disenfranchise candidates and campaigns who rely on social media for grassroots organizing and fundraising.

No, I don’t respect anyone who does but they should have the right to restrict extremist movements.

Its a good idea to ban the political parties but there should be a collective fund from these parties to educate people about the elections and their responsibility to create a change in the system.

Social media companies should not ban political advertising as long as it doesn't promote violence or hate speech and as long as all candidates have equal air time slot.

Yes, but only for Progressive parties. National Conservative parties should be able to advertise though.
