Political Ads: EU Lawmakers must uphold human rights to privacy and free expression - AlgorithmWatch
algorithmwatch.org
In light of a leaked “non-paper” from the European Commission, AlgorithmWatch and 26 other civil society organizations have called on EU co-legislators to address our serious concerns about the proposed regulation on Targeting and Transparency of Political Advertising.

targeted advertising […] have a serious negative impact on election #integrity […] risks democratic pluralism and #freedom of expression contained in the Council’s proposal […] tactics should have no place in #HumanRights respecting democracies […] goes against what the majority of #people want

    What does that even mean though? Like if I put an advert in a right-wing newspaper vs a left-wing one am I targeting my advertising? What about if I put it in a trade magazine?

    Besides, given that I will have to see some adverts unless I want to pay for absolutely everything (and people are often able to purchase ad-free versions in the current system) I’d rather see ads for stuff I’m actually interested in.
