Facebook allows you to block political posts on the site, but you can also report them so that they can be removed permanently. To do this, you’ll need to find out how to do it and follow the steps.

Snooze to Hide Political Facebook Posts from Friends

  1. Open Facebook and sign in.
  2. Click on the three lines in the top left corner of your screen (the one that says “Settings”).
  3. Scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on “Privacy”.
  4. On the next page, you will see a list of people you have friends with on Facebook. Click on the name of your friend or acquaintance to block them from seeing political posts from that person’s account on Facebook.

If you select “snooze” on your computer, all posts from that person will be hidden and replaced with a small box that confirms your choice to snooze that person. If you change your mind, you can undo the decision by clicking the “undo” button.

After the election is over, if you want to keep seeing posts from this political Facebook user, select Unfollow and remain friends with them while they are still on Facebook.

Unfollow Groups With Political Facebook Posts

This option removes all the group posts from your feed, but allows you to remain in the group. You can select the group and view their posts, but they will not automatically show up on your feed. When things have calmed down, you can easily re-follow the group and enjoy reading their posts every day. ..

What Facebook Is Doing

Facebook is banning any new political ads from being submitted in the week before the election. Candidates will not be able to launch any last-minute advertisements to sway voters. The company will still allow existing ads to run in the waning weeks of the campaign, though.

Facebook has stayed out of the political fray, but is now labeling advertisements that attempt to dissuade people from voting using the coronavirus pandemic as misinformation. This will reduce their overall impact. ..
