JAKARTA: Facebook says it will not allow election advertisements for Indonesia’s upcoming presidential election that are purchased from outside the country.
The announcement on Facebook’s website says the restriction took effect Monday morning and is part of “safeguarding election integrity on our platform.”
Facebook has been criticized for allowing foreign interests to use its site to disseminate ads that may have influenced the outcomes of the last US presidential election and the UK referendum on leaving the European Union.
