This whole thing seems like more harm than good and an example of Facebook (intentionally or not) having a larger political influence than a "social media" company should.

I think "limited to political ads only" adds to the initial problem of political ads in first place.

What even counts as a "political ad"?

Sure, there are obvious examples like "vote ___ for governor", but then is an advertisement for condoms a "political ad"? It's a politically charged topic, so... it depends.

It says that right on the page:

> Keep in mind, keyword searches return only ads related to politics or issues of importance. You can try your search again and select from the Page results.
