Election week special: Dangers of political advertising and electronic voting

Join us for a special EU Election week event focused on technology’s worrying impacts on UK democracy.

Nearly a year after the General Data Protection Regulation was implemented, questionable data practices on social media advertising are threatening UK elections. We’ll hear from Who Targets Me about their innovative browser extension that improves transparency in online advertising by showing users who is targeting political ads at them and why.

We’ll also hear from our new Data & Democracy Project Officer Pascal Crowe about why we should be concerned about electronic voting trials in the UK. We’ll also hear about ORG’s upcoming event ORGCon.

No technical expertise are necessary, all are welcome to this free event.
