UK users are cut adrift from current events by the Online Safety Act. Platforms must moderate content that’s ‘harmful’. A term that bursts the banks of porn to submerge news, advice and debate… it’s online censorship.

It's up to us if we want targeted advertising or not. It's about consent. Meta's attempt to gaslight us in the hope we'll get tired or confused is another tactic to uphold an advertising model that isn't operating lawfully.

You have a legal right to object to your personal data being used for the purpose of targeted advertising. Meta even admitted they must respect this right when they settled Tanya O’Carroll's case against them. So why gaslight the rest of us? #StopStalkerAds techcrunch.com/2025/03/21/meta-settles-u-k-righ... #adtech #meta ... show more#zuckerberg

Meta must change how it does business away from profiteering on the back of our personal data. Instead, our report suggests other advertising models that can respect our rights, like contextual advertising or subscriptions for advertisers. #StopStalkerAds www.openrightsgroup.org/press-releases/metas-co... #adtech #meta #zuckerberg ... show more#facebook
