Facebook pulls Trump ads that told people they were victims of election fraud

Almost 50 Donald Trump campaign adverts have been pulled from Facebook after they baselessly told people "your vote has not been counted."

In a statement, Facebook said the 48 adverts had violated the site’s policies on voter interference, but did not provide more details to Business Insider, who reported on the clamp-down.

Mr Trump has maintained that the 2020 presidential election would be the "most inaccurate and fraudulent in history", in part due to increases in mail-in ballots amid the pandemic.

Those claims, despite being baseless, have been seen to delegitimize both election processes and the outcome on 3 November.



According to a JL Partners-Independent survey published last week, around two-thirds of American voters said they were “very or quite” concerned that the election will not be free or fair, when polled on the matter.
