Political Ads: EU Lawmakers must uphold human rights to privacy and free expression - AlgorithmWatch
algorithmwatch.orgIn 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

All advertising is harmful, a complete ad ban would be wonderful, very hard to enforce thought.
The only good advertising is honest word of mouth from buyer to buyer. No marketing team involved
Why? It helps people see things that are relevant to them which helps them find things they want, helps small businesses find niche audiences, and keeps the economy moving.
This sort of anti-technology stuff is why the EU is becoming an economic backwater vs. the USA.
Eu should stop the chat control
Honestly let’s just ban all advertising, except for maybe small signs.
