UPDATE: Facebook now says it will reject Trump ads prematurely claiming victory Nov. 4

Facebook banned political ads a week before the election. After questions from ‘Fast Company,’ it will now ban political ads—including those by the Trump campaign—that claim false victory in the days after November 3.

Facebook has said it will reject political ads that spread misinformation about the outcome of the November 3 election, several hours after Fast Company reported that the company’s stated policies would do nothing to prevent a candidate such as Donald Trump from declaring victory before the final results are tabulated.

“We will be rejecting political ads that claim victory before the results of the 2020 election have been declared,” a Facebook spokesperson told Fast Company, as the company was preparing a tweet clarifying its policy on post-election-night political ads.
