Not content with being so matey with the mainstream press, now the Tories are making their own newspapers too! But it seems they forgot to put their name on them... Check out the WhoTargetsMe newsletter for more great research on political ads.

"The best a campaign can hope for is to find a good use for AI in the tiny window before people hate it."

More top stuff from Who Targets Me here on the drawbacks of using AI in political campaigning - much of it very relevant for other uses of these tools as well.

🇬🇧 EU Parliament set to severely restrict the use of your personal data for targeted #politicaladvertising and ban political surveillance advertising. A great success!

My detailed analysis: https://www.patrick-breyer.de/en/eu-lawmakers-vow-to-ban-surveillance-based-political-advertising/

The EU Parliament’s report on the #transparency & #targeting of #politicaladvertising was adopted today with a clear majority (433 +, 61 -, 110 abst.).
We made huge steps towards more transparent political campaigns & stronger democracies.
