Meta, YouTube Reverse Ad Bans for Elon Musk Documentary

Meta and YouTube have announced they will now accept advertising for Alex Gibney's upcoming documentary about Elon Musk, reversing earlier decisions to restrict or reject the ads. The companies cited "errors" and temporary restrictions for their initial stances.

This change of heart follows widespread reporting on the ad bans, which had raised questions about content moderation policies on major social media platforms. While TikTok and X (formerly Twitter) have remained silent on the matter, the decisions by Meta and YouTube signal a potential shift in how they handle controversial advertising content.
