Meta pulls political ads in the EU due to new regulations by Paul Hill Meta has announced that it will no longer allow political, electoral, or social issue ads on its platforms in the European Union starting in early October 2025. This is in direct response to the EU’s upcoming Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising (TTPA) regulation. According to the social media giant, the TTPA introduces “unworkable requirements and legal uncertainties” that make it too hard to continue offering those ad services. The ban on these types of ads will be limited to the EU and it will continue to allow political ads on its service in other parts of the world. The company will also allow people and politicians in the EU to post and debate politics organically on its platforms, they just can’t pay to amplify it. Meta said that the TTPA places extensive restrictions on ad targeting and delivery, and will make ads less relevant to users. It also believes that the measures undermine personalized advertising which it believes is crucial for advertisers and users. The company has already introduced transparency tools for political ads back in 2018, such as requiring authorization and public disclosure in its Ad Library. Commenting on its action, Meta said: With this ban in place, it will restrict how political and social issue advertisers can reach audiences through paid promotions on Meta’s platform. It could also impact the ability of voters to get comprehensive information about the various campaigns. On this point, Meta thinks personalized ads are critical for informing voters about important social issues. It’ll be interesting to see what impact this has on political campaigns in the EU. Those politicians without deep pockets may like this move as it creates a more level playing field and prevents those with deep pockets from drowning out other candidates’ voices. On the flip side, it could see candidates use less transparent methods to get their views across to the public. Source: Meta | Image via Depositphotos.com
