Centre-Left

Agree

Yes

Centre-left ideologies generally support regulations that protect public interests and ensure fair competition. They might see banning political advertising on social media as a way to prevent misinformation, protect the integrity of elections, and reduce the influence of money in politics. However, they also value free speech and democratic engagement, which could make them somewhat hesitant to fully support a complete ban without exceptions. Historical references include the actions of social media platforms like Twitter, which, in October 2019, announced it would ban all political advertising. This move was largely applauded by individuals and groups on the left, who saw it as a step towards reducing misinformation and the outsized influence of money in politics.

Slightly disagree

No

While centre-left ideologies are cautious about the role of money in politics and the potential for misinformation, they also strongly support democratic processes and the importance of political engagement. Banning political advertising on social media could be seen as limiting the ability of smaller, grassroots campaigns to reach potential supporters, which is a critical aspect of democratic engagement. This perspective values the role of social media in leveling the playing field for less established political voices. The reluctance to fully endorse a ban might also stem from concerns about freedom of expression and the practical challenges of defining what constitutes 'political' advertising without infringing on legitimate political discourse.
