Twitter banned political ads this year, Facebook didn't. It was probably the most important social media policy of the year (with Trump's tweet warnings)

The media may be biased by their history with FB, but they deserve an huge part of this reputation.

Are political ads a bad thing though? Isn't it better to hear what politicians actually think instead of whatever caricature of their thinking goes viral?

That's an extreme mesure indeed, fact-checking political ads can be another solution, but FB won't do it either.
