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." Twitter banned all political advertising in 2019, reacting to growing concern about misinformation spreading on social media.
