Thailand will hold its general election Sunday, March 24, and Facebook outlined the steps it is taking to prevent its platform from being used to sway the vote.
Global politics and governmental outreach director Katie Harbath and Asia-Pacific politics and government outreach manager Roy Tan said in a Newsroom post that foreign electoral ads will not be permitted on Facebook from mid-February through the election.
The ban covers ads being run by advertisers outside of Thailand attempting to run ads of an electoral nature—containing references to politicians, parties, “getting out the vote,” voter suppression, political slogans and party logos.
Facebook will use a mix of machine learning and human review to enforce this policy.
