Add-on summary

Who Targets Me is a free browser extension that lets you contribute to a crowdsourced library of political ads.

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.

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 area/constituency/district most heavily
  • Data about how many political ads there are vs. the total number of ads running at any given time
