Just Days Before the Election, Facebook’s Political Ads System Still Isn’t Fully Fixed
 

Hi there,

Sara is off today, so Jameson Fleming, senior editor, membership, is here filling in for her today.

Facebook intended to block all new political ads with a week to go before the election. What it actually did was pause countless ads already running. The Biden campaign told Adweek that the errors cost the campaign a half million dollars at a crucial time. The issues come as Facebook released its Q3 earnings report, which showed the advertising boycott had little effect, with revenue rising 22% year over year.

You can read our deep dive into all of Facebook's election issues here.
