In October 2019 Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey announced that his social media company would ban all political advertising. He stated that political messages on the platform should reach users through the recommendation of other users – not through paid reach. Proponents argue that social media companies don’t have the tools to stop the spread of false information since their advertising platforms aren’t moderated by human beings. Opponents argue that the ban will disenfranchise candidates and campaigns who rely on social media for grassroots organizing and fundraising.

Depends on whether it's about educating people in a politically neutral manner or about influencing people's opinion

Political publicity should be allowed on social media, but not political advertising
@97Q57CX2yrs2Y
No. But, users should be given the ability to opt in and out of political advertising at their discretion.
