A little more than half of social media users in three key battleground states report seeing ads questioning the validity of this year's election, according to a new survey commissioned by a group pushing for tighter regulation of tech companies.
In the poll,54 percent of peopleresponding had seen ads on social media questioning the election, and about half of those people reported seeing ads that had criticized the election's validity. Meanwhile,79 percent saw ads related to mail-in ballots, although only 15 percent of those people said the ads were biased against the practice.
Don't target us: Sixty-eight percent of the people opposed being targeted with political ads based on their race, income, political leanings and other demographic information, saying ads should be seen by everyone. Roughly two-thirds of respondents said social media companies should also make it clearer how ads are being targeted and funded.
Behind the study: The British market research company YouGov conducted the survey on behalf of Global Witness, a 27-year-old international advocacy organization that works on issues ranging from climate change to corruption to digital rights. The survey's margin of error was 2.92 percentage points.
In recent years, Global Witness has called on lawmakers in both the U.S. and Europe to apply greater scrutiny to major technology companies. Notably, the group has urged Congress to pass legislation that would ban the micro-targeting of online political ads and require greater disclosures about who funds them.
Silicon Valley action: Facebook, Google and Twitter have overhauled their political advertising policies after the revelations that online trolls linked to the Kremlin had bought ads to attack Hillary Clinton and stir unrest in the 2016 U.S. presidential election. All three companies have since created publicly accessible databases that list ads and information about them.
The companies have also taken steps to limit political ads before the election.
The claim that #Russia offered 10,000 troops to #Catalonia to support its independence from #Spain is truly insane - in the implausible sense. Is this a misunderstanding, someone's empty boast taken at face value, or something worse? I'm honestly stumped. politico.eu/article/russia
