Why wouldn't they? In 2020 Trump signed an executive order in an attempt to get TikTok banned. After that is when we had Trump fuming about a rigged election and the events of January 6th, which were all over every social media platform. On their "Combating Misinformation" page, they talk about election integrity several times. Most social media have a misinformation policy since 2016 because there were questions about that election too. It's incredibly likely this has been in place since 2020.
