Twitter Says It Will Reverse Ban On Political Ads 

Twitter’s head of trust and safety, Ella Irwin, says Twitter Inc will reverse its 2019 ban on political advertisements, as the Elon Musk-owned company seeks to grow revenue. <br />The social media platform tweeted from its Twitter Safety account that it would relax its advertising policy for cause-based ads in the United States and align its advertisement policy with TV and other media outlets. <br />Ella Irwin says cause-based advertisements that will be allowed on Twitter include ads that educate or raise awareness of issues such as voter registration, climate change or government programmes like the Census,Political advertising made up a sliver of Twitter’s overall revenue, accounting for less than $3m of total spending for the 2018 US midterm election.
