Twitter to ban all political advertising, raising pressure on Facebook

[PSPS]

16. I was going to bring up "issue advertising" but I see that's included which is good

Back in the old days, when media companies acted like trusted members of the community instead of whores (anything for ad money,) the standard practice was to refuse all "issue advertising." All advertising had to promote either a specific product or a specific service. The only exception was political campaign ads for a specific candidate and those had to conform to the company's standards and practices (i.e., the same content guidelines applied to all of its programming and advertising.) Back then, a broadcast (over-the-air) station could actually lose their license to operate.

But, then came Raygun and deregulation. And the FCC has been "captured" now, although its reach has never included cable/satellite/internet programming. Those operate purely at the whim of their owners, like zuckerberg, and they're blatant whores and not "trusted members of the community."
