'Understanding the online political advertising landscape is key to protecting elections.'

Ads referencing impeachment and the inauguration are also temporarily prohibited.

Such ads have been prohibited since November 3rd.

Google plans to review the situation weekly.

The ads aren't visible to anyone using the site.

Facebook has imposed stricter rules on political ads in the run-up to the election.

The move would follow a similar announcement from Facebook.

The "blackout"period would apply in the days immediately before Election Day.

It has also forced advertisers to leave comments up for 24 hours.

More than 350,000 political ads didn't have full disclosures of who was behind them.

The company said the posts violate its rules banning census-related misinformation.
