Social Media,News,2024 Election

Ad transparency is crucial for revealing who funds and targets political advertisements, ensuring voters have clear, accurate information during U.S. presidential elections, which is essential for making informed decisions and safeguarding the integrity of the electoral process.

A recent study by Mozilla, in collaboration with Finland-based disinformation research firm CheckFirst, has revealed that tech giants such as Apple, Google, Meta, TikTok, and X, despite maintaining searchable public ad libraries, fail to provide meaningful data. This data is crucial for users, journalists, and advocates to monitor scams and disinformation effectively, especially as the 2024 presidential election approaches.
