Meta Pulls $25 Million From US Midterms Effort
Original: Meta Withdraws $25 Million from Its Midterms Push https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/16/technology/meta-midterms-funding.ht
Meta has withdrawn $25 million it had committed to its efforts around the United States midterm elections, according to a New York Times report. The move scales back the company's involvement in the 2026 vote and is likely to renew criticism of how major technology platforms handle election-related spending and preparedness.
Why now: Meta's reduced election funding ahead of the US midterms raises concerns about platform support for election integrity.
