this is a good thing though??
The regulations impose additional requirements for a reason - because political advertising can be extremely dangerous. If it’s a question of no political advertising or opaque, microtargeted political advertising that can’t be investigated later, then it’s an easy choice.
Thanks to bloc’s new rules I guess. Fuck meta.
There is nothing to blame about except this should have come earlier and everywhere.
Is Meta threatening us in the EU with a good time?
EU is threatening Meta with a bad time
While pushing right wing and Russian „news“ I assume.
Damn stupid me! Once again thought this was #goodnews
meta: we’re stopping political ads because of the evil eu pls write them and complain
literally everyone: another benefit to being in the eu <3
nothing is stopping them to push propaganda(russian backed) into peoples feeds that arnt ads.
“Blaming”? No one wants them to begin with…
“No one”
They don’t give a shit what their users want. Their users are part of the product they sell. Their customers are their advertisers. This is bad news for political advertisers and their investors, both of whom absolutely want political advertising on the platform. This is a good thing. It would be a much better thing if people would just stop using Meta products altogether
The government parties do. That’s who they’re targeting with this ‘news’.
Any government party seen bending to the metatwats can fuck off too. But unfortunately they really want the exposure to show the kids how hip they are.
The government parties do.
The government parties who approved these regulations…?
Not all of them, but that’s what meta is trying to get at. “Your laws stop us from marketing you u to the masses”
Fuck 'em. I hope I live to watch meta crumble to shit and everything like it.
Wish we could have some of those rules here in the US…
Wish we could have some of those rules here in the UK…
Under the regulations, which are set to take effect on Oct. 10, platforms will have to label political ads, disclosing who paid for them, and what campaign, referendum or legislative process they’re connected to
Oh yeah they sound really unworkable, who could possibly expect meta to take this very basic information from their advertisers and then display it in a small text box.
Of course not seeing the ads is even better so I don’t think anyone will complain.
“I’m sorry to say I cannot accept any more money from

I see this as an absolute win
