Changes go into effect in September and October. In the email announcing the changes, the company said that the updates are an effort to align Xandr\u2019s policies with Microsoft Advertising\u2019s policies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">Microsoft-owned LinkedIn also prohibits political ads, according to its advertising policy website.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">As Google and Meta have cracked down on political advertising\u2014both companies announced restrictions on targeting, including political affiliation, in recent years\u2014many political advertisers have turned to the open web and programmatic advertising to reach voters. Political ad spending during the 2022 election cycle reached $7.8 billion, according to the analytics company Adimpact.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">Jake Sticka, a partner at the political ad agency Rising Tide Interactive that uses Xandr, told Marketing Brew that, among other things, platforms that accept political advertising \u201chave to be prepared to ensure that the folks running the ads are legitimate advertisers. And I understand that there is work that goes into that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">As for why platforms are cracking down on political advertising, he said it could be because they \u201cdon\u2019t want to be in a position where they\u2019re refereeing between the accuracy of the ads that they\u2019re running and the political environment, in general.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"dist__StyledText-sc-5a46198a-12 ggMJgB\">Last year, Axios said that a report from the University of North Carolina\u2019s Center on Technology Policy found that programmatic ad-tech companies \u201chave minimal transparency tools and few specific content restrictions.\u201d Xandr was the only programmatic ad company that kept an archive of ads, the researchers found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Read the full article <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marketingbrew.com\/stories\/2023\/07\/27\/microsoft-s-xandr-gets-out-of-political-ads?utm_source=&#038;utm_medium=syndication&#038;utm_campaign=feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get marketing news you&#8217;ll actually want to read The email newsletter guaranteed to bring you the latest stories shaping the marketing and advertising world, like only the Brew can.
