NEWS - Facebook is back to banning political ads "starting early tomorrow," per email to clients.

"Georgia will re-join the existing nationwide social issues, elections or political ads pause." Facebook temporarily lifted its political ad ban ahead of the Georgia runoffs.

That will now switch off again as of tomorrow AM, presumably while votes will continue to be counted.
