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, but should be limited.
Yes, a Private company can choose to advertise what it want as long as it does not violate or discriminate against the Constitution of the United States.
Yes, but only when elections are approaching
No, but it has to be explicitly stated as an ad
They should fact check.
No, but they should provide fact-checking on or right below the ad
Private companies should be able to ban or allow whatever they wish and users should understand this when signing up.
No, only ban it if it includes false information.
no, but they should also not censor different political views that differ from the owners of the media companies.
Yes, but only if social media companies consent to be regulated like publishers instead of forums
It should all be unbiased and factual.
it is up to each platform
No but make sure all facts are in check

No, but activity should be thoroughly monitored for illegal activity and also fact checked
No, but all ads with misleading information or baseless claims should result in a ban on the candidate or organization.
Political advertising on social media platforms should be allowed unless if the content in question promotes extremist policies, including but not limited to: violence, discrimination against marginalized social groups, racism, sexism, anti-Semitism, Holocaust denial, false conspiracy theories, etc. Users that promote extremist ideology should have their content moderated, or in extraordinary cases banishment from social media platforms.
No, because social media companies could use these to favor one political party over another.
Advertising is a Americans right in free speech
they should limit the political advertisement
No, but they should screen each advertisement for validity.
Social media is too biased. They should not be allowed too set their own policies on promotion of politics.
Companies should not promote or deter any candidates but individual employees of the companies can post what they want on their own profiles.
No, but they need to make sure each person receives the ads of both sides to avoid the echo chamber effect.
A company should be able to utilize the advertising of their choice. If the consumer does not agree, they can use another service.
No, but it should be clearly labeled as such and who funded it.
Yes, all advertising on Social Media should be banned.
Social Media companies should add a limit to political advertising.
Maybe, If the person doesn’t want to see it, they shouldn’t be forced to
As long as ALL sides and voices treated equally, no. Until equality for all guaranteed, yes.
No, but fact-checkers should look over all of it.
No. They are businesses. It's not their job to hide you from content. It's the individual's responsibility do determine "good" or "bad" for themselves.
companies should be allowed to ban that
No, but they should provide a platform that is un-biased to there political agenda.
No, just don't censor, or algorithmically steer aka influence patrons
No, as long as they stay neutral and don't lean left or right.
No but all political ads should be screened and fact checked.
That should be left to those companies themselves.
No, but it shouldn't be targeted advertising.
As long if they put ads about both parties and candidates
No, but there should be a limit
Social Media can promote but not fund
They should have the ability but not by government demand.
Yes, but only if the ads are known to be false in their content.
There should be a form of restriction.
Social media should ban itself. Nobody needs to hear your every thought every moment of the day. Social media has destroyed human interaction. Political ads are fine if all voices are allowed the same freedom of speech.
If it is rude and harmful than no but if it is informational than yes
Yes, but not for presidential advertising during election terms
