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

    I disagree with this. If a new shop comes out, how are they supposed to get word-of-mouth over the bigger, more shopped at shop, even if it is better? People will stick with what they know, and the new shop will die. Maybe this is a naïve perspective, but that’s how I am thinking here.
