Illegal Political Microtargeting by EU Commission (noyb.eu)

> The European Commission […] targeted users who weren't interested in keywords like: Qatargate, brexit, Marine Le Pen, Alternative für Deutschland, Vox, Christian, Christian-phobia or Giorgia Meloni. The clear intention was to only target politically liberal or left users, but not conservative or right-wing users.

Arguably the clear intention was to not target the ultra-far-right… you know, the kind of folks who really like their shiny boots and stiff-armed salutes.

In other words this “microtargetting” is really a macrotargeting of the extreme left, the ultra far-left, the far-left, the left, the center-left, the center, the center-right, the right, and the far right.

But hey, keep shifting that Overton Window.
