According to the Progress Action Fund, Twitter banned the following political ad that they had placed on Twitter/X, and then their account was shadow banned. The ad below, entitled “Republicans In Your Bedroom,” which PAF says was intended for the August 8 election in Ohio was taken down, according to the group. Progress Action Fund believes this ad was taken down due to Elon Musk having a “far-right political agenda.” I decided to check the Twitter ad policy, and that policy does say that the promotion of “adult sexual content” is not permitted. Some of the examples of of this content would include the following: •Full and partial nudity •Modeled clothing that is sexual in nature I think that perhaps this ad could be deemed to fall under the second bullet point, but I believe that would be quite a reach. That would mean that virtually all swimwear ads would also be prohibited. I think Twiitter/X owes an explanation for this. Was this ad really banned? If so, why? Also why is the aforementioned account shadow banned (if that is true)? What are everyone’s thoughts? Should this ad be permitted on Twitter? If not, why not?
