Instructions d'Utilisation de l'Extension

                        Politicians have always used misleading ads and campaign tricks to win votes. But because Big Tech enables campaigns to secretly launch thousands of ads at once, today’s voters are seeing ads that are more divisive and misleading than ever before. 

Despite this, there’s still little systematic data on how individuals are targeted by campaigns.

We believe that these platforms have too much power over our civic conversations; that privately targeted political ads increase polarization and mistrust and that neither campaigns nor Big Tech will behave more responsibly without public pressure and transparency. 

That’s why we run Who Targets Me – a free browser extension that lets you contribute to a crowdsourced library of political ads. 

The browser extension gives you: 

- A record of all the political ads you're targeted with and why you see them

- Data about which parties and groups are targeting you most

- Data about which parties and groups are targeting your district most heavily

- Data about how many political ads there are vs. the total number of ads running at any given time

By tracking how campaigns are using Big Tech to privately target voters, we can contribute to reform of how politics is done, protect a fair democratic process and elections, and start to repair our national conversation.

------

Who Targets Me launched in the UK in 2017 and has since been run in over 20 countries around the world. 

Our work has been covered by the BBC, New York Times, CNN and many others.
