Facebook is under strict surveillance these days before the US presidential election.
In a few days, before the US presidential elections, all political ads will stop on social platforms, especially Facebook, and all ads related to social and political issues will be banned in the United States, when the polls end, the November 3. In this context, the controversy between “New York University” and the Blue website arose on its platform, which asked it to suspend a research project related to targeted political advertisements, accusing it of violating laws and collecting user data. Laura Edelson of “New York University” responded to this request saying: “The public has a right to know the method used to run political advertisements, so we will not comply with this request.” The move comes at a time when Facebook is under tight control over the ability to influence voters. For his part, on the Blue site he commented on the rejection of his request, through network spokesman Joe Osborne, who said: “We were informed at New York University months ago that a project to collect data on Facebook violates our rules. “. “Our advertising library, which is viewed by two million people each month, including New York University, provides more transparency in political ads than television, radio and any other digital platform,” he added. Facebook users can add a function (Add watcher), which allows you to copy the ads that appear to them on the blue site and include them in a general list of data, and search for advertising methods for users.
