I work on a presidential campaign on the digital side. 1 - If you take away FB advertising, then you reduce political upward mobility of many lesser known candidates. 2 - FOX, CNN, MSNBC and others will have an unfair advantage to promote an insider candidate or a candidate the bosses at these networks want to help promote. If you're okay with the above outcome, then push to end FB advertising. I can tell you from the inside, FB is tremendously important in giving smaller and lesser candidates a fighting chance against those backed by big money, establishment and insiders. I'm even curious if AOC herself would have been able to prevail without FB advertising. Even something small as promoting an event like a town hall, greatly benefits the smaller candidates, IMO. As for twitter advertising, it wasn't helpful for us and it only constitutes a small fraction of "digital". If you look at the campaign spending data across you'll see a similar trend. So it's an easier decision for twitter.
