Ja Ja, der Datenschutz
Datenschutz ist der dünne Lack zwischen Profiling Microtargeting und Nudging es ist der minimale Schutz vor Stalking Doxing Identitätsdiebstahl.
Datenschutz stört, wenn ein Dienst/ App nur einen Collateralnutzen für die User ins Schaufenster stellt, aber im Kern die Interessen von Politik, Staat und Wirtschaft bedienen soll. Das Märchen von der Fortschrittsbremse.

There is little research on #microtargeting ads so far. Mona Krewel & Jeanelle Frontin researched their impact in U.S. presidential #elections with the Meta Ad Data Set. They show that surprisingly not gender, age or location are used for targeting, but a persons interests instead. #WIConf2025

A manipulation technique also known as "microtargeting": "a type of personalised communication that involves collecting information about people, and using that information to show them targeted political advertisements" [3].

[3] on #microtargeting:
- "it exploits personal data [...]
- conceals its true nature [...]
- allows [...] to make incompatible promises to different segments of the electorate". Potentially targeting #CognitiveBiases by opaque/foreign #misinformation & #disinformation

We need the #government to take this seriously so creeps like this #databroker don't get more data:

And #democracy is undermined by the #microtargeting from #socialmedia - #Trump /Brexit/Romania etc

Their echo chamber is fueled by right wing news outlets, but the real division was sown a while ago by #algorighmic #socialmedia and #microtargeting

#bigtech didn't use 'divide and conquer', they used 'atomise and conquer' 😒

And meanwhile the masses are cooperating in their own surveillance by feeding #surveillancecapitalism

Any suggestions for how to bring people back to the 'shared centre'?

@OmasgR Weil ihr einen Mastodon-Account bei #Digitalcourage habt, interessiert es euch vielleicht, dass Digitalcourage die Leute, bei denen ihr eure "Petition" untergebracht habt, vor 9 Jahren einen mit einem #BigBrotherAward geächtet hat: https://bigbrotherawards.de/2016/changeorg

Damals waren die #innnit-Leute noch der deutsche Arm von #changeOrg. Inzwischen wird change.org in Deutschland von einem anderen Team gemacht.

Ich fand die Laudatio für diesen Negativpreis nicht besonders gelungen. Die Preisvergabe war umstritten. Ich halte sie aber immer noch für gerechtfertigt, weil ich damals bei meinen Recherchen darauf stieß, dass change.org damit warb, Daten der Mitzeichnenden schön als Profil aufbereitet an Interessierte zu verkaufen, z.B. für #Microtargeting im britischen Wahlkampf. Nach der Preisvergabe gelobte change.org, damit aufzuhören. Warum sich Innnit später selbständig gemacht hat, ist mir nicht bekannt.

Danke @janboehm

Nachdem die Thematik niemandem in meinem Umfeld bewusst war, zweifelte ich langsam selbst daran und begann schon damit, mich auf Verschwörungstheorien zu challengen.

In 2025 #microtargeting and #personalisedads have been so successful it's less 'divide and conquer' and now more like 'ATOMISE AND CONQUER' 😒

#surveillancecapitalism #threattodemocracy #rtb

We are isolated and weak in our information bubbles. No shared reality = no coordinated fight back. Are you going to let that happen?

Let's hope the orgs can rally us: @eff @noybeu @privacyint @corporateeurope @edri #ThePeopleVsBigTech

"people under permanent supervision will, in time, adopt behaviours that are pleasing to others rather than true to themselves"

Great observation by Jamie Susskind in his excellent #book The Digital Republic

So even if you're not bothered about the #threattodemocracy posed by #surveillancecapitalism and #bigtech,
maybe it'll annoy you to know that we're all being moulded into sycophantic fakes.

This idea is also explored in Doppelganger by Naomi Klein.

@zdfmagazin
Die Linke will Microtargeting verbieten:

"Um Machtmissbrauch durch digitale Monopole zu verhindern, werden wir rechtliche Spielräume zur Zerschlagung der Monopole ausschöpfen, das Kartellrecht und seine Umsetzung stärken und personalisierte Onlinewerbung verbieten. Die Vorstellung von Daten als verkäuflichem Eigentum lehnen wir ab. Öffentliche und genossenschaftliche Plattformen für gemeinnützige Dienstleistungen und wirklich soziale Netzwerke fördern wir als Alternative zu den profitorientierten Plattformen der Konzerngiganten."
