Google to Halt Political Ads in EU Over New Regulations

Google has announced it will halt political advertising in the European Union starting October 2025 due to challenges complying with the EU’s new Regulation on Transparency and Targeting of Political Advertising. The move follows similar decisions in France, Canada, and Brazil. Google cites broad ad definitions and operational hurdles as key reasons for this step but reaffirms its commitment to supporting democratic elections through accurate and reliable information.
