Democrats Unveil Bill To Ban Online 'Surveillance Advertising'

mardi 18 janvier 2022, 21:49 , par Slashdot/Apple
Democrats introduced a new bill that would ban nearly all use of digital advertising targeting on ad markets hosted by platforms like Facebook, Google, and other data brokers. From a report: The Banning Surveillance Advertising Act -- sponsored by Reps. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), Jan Schakowsky (D-IL), and Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) -- prohibits digital advertisers from targeting any ads to users. It makes some small exceptions, like allowing for 'broad' location-based targeting. Contextual advertising, like ads that are specifically matched to online content, would be allowed. 'The 'surveillance advertising' business model is premised on the unseemly collection and hoarding of personal data to enable ad targeting,' Eshoo, the bill's lead sponsor, said in a Tuesday statement. 'This pernicious practice allows online platforms to chase user engagement at great cost to our society, and it fuels disinformation, discrimination, voter suppression, privacy abuses, and so many other harms. The surveillance advertising business model is broken.'
