For those hoping to at least partially avoid politics while online this might come as a surprise. According to Facebook (who also owns Instagram in this case) both platforms will now allow people to manually disable politically related advertisements.
“Everyone wants to see politicians held accountable for what they say — and I know many people want us to moderate and remove more of their content,” Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg wrote in USA Today. “For those of you who’ve already made up your minds and just want the election to be over, we hear you — so we’re also introducing the ability to turn off seeing political ads. We’ll still remind you to vote.”
