Summary

Find out who targets you with digital advertising Keep track of how political campaigns target you with social media ads while anonymously helping international research projects understand how election results are influenced by social media advertising.

The plugin identifies political ads from major parties and candidates, so you can review their content and targeting. The ads you contribute may be shared with reputable research projects and journalists. Our goal is to exemplify the transparency accountability people should expect from social media platforms and political campaigns to increase the trustworthiness of modern democracy.

The project has been covered by the BBC, New York Times, CNN and many others.

Who Targets Me is currently available in ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, ITALIAN, HUNGARIAN, RUSSIAN, LATVIAN, PORTUGUESE, SWEDISH, FINNISH, FRENCH, DUTCH, CROATIAN, UKRAINIAN, HEBREW, BULGARIAN, CZECH, ESTONIAN, GREEK, MACEDONIAN, POLISH, ROMANIAN, SLOVAKIAN, SLOVENIAN and MALTESE.

Users in the UK, across the EU, US, Canada, Ukraine and Israel will get personalised results as soon as they start to see political ads in their feed.
