Twitter says it will relax its 3-year-old ban on political advertising

Twitter says it will ease up on its 3-year-old ban on political advertising, the latest change by Elon Musk as he tries to pump up revenue after purchasing the social media platform last year. The company tweeted late Tuesday that we're relaxing our ads policy for cause-based ads in the US."
