Fabio Votta馃搳馃惂 @favstats.eu 路 Mar 7 There is no "political ad ban" on Meta. A ban that isn't enforced isn't a ban. Former AfD leader Frauke Petry and now leader of a splinter party is running several political ads on Meta. One has been active since Oct 23 and reached 171k people across Germany.

The ban is for political ads, isn't it? So theoretically, if a politician is promoting a photo with a pizza, this is in accordance with the current rules?
I don't know what happened to those screenshots! But if you want to check for yourself you can see here: www.facebook.com/ads/library/...
The account is self-identified as a politician. This would be the simplest enforcement in the world if Meta actually cared. Political actors who break the rules get access to Meta's powerful targeting infrastructure. This distorts political competition in their favor over those who follow rules.
