”A large majority of lawmakers voted to prohibit online platforms such as Facebook and Google from showing commercials to users based on their most intimate information“
Can we please ban all targeted ads.
Or better yet, ban all ads, period.
Wait, why? I’m gay and I’d much rather have gay ads than football ads.
So does that mean my extensive online “research” of bikini models will no longer result in targeted adds, and I will instead see random adds for wood pellets and baby food
Only if online sites kept privacy laws…
> Parliament also approved an amendment to force online platforms to make sure that users who declined to be tracked could still have alternative options to access the services, meaning that a platform like Instagram couldn’t de facto oblige users to be tracked to view posts on its app.
I wonder if that’ll translate into a premium, pay-for-no-ads alternative.

Seems like there’s probably substitutes that may get close to the same thing especially for religion and sexual orientation. Just target based on certain sets of interests instead.
Pornhub going back to showing me str**ght porn ads…
Somthing that makes sense? Somthing bad is coming up.
So the LGBTQ quiz ad on my YouTube account will finally disappear? Good.
amazing how many people ITT seem to think the advertising industry summons money from the aether to pay for things we enjoy
it’s all our money already. you already pay for all the things advertising ‘pays’ for.
*Laughs in ABP*
Except for vaccine ads i suppose.
Does that parliament ever do anything useful?
Also include political ideologies and stance please.
What? No more half-naked girls in my ads?!
How will they enforce this though?
The EP _voted_ for a ban. That means that that’s what their negotiators are aiming for when they’re negotiating with the Council and the Commission to determine the final contents of the act. It’s not a done deal yet.
So we will have the same amount of ads, but they will be even more uninteresting than now…
It is possible ot turn off ads targeting on google. I would prefer to have choice and see what is my “advertisement profile” that companies use than some politicians decide what can or can’t be used. So for example I could turn off ads targeting my “political views”. Also I wonder how parliament define these vague terms from title.
I checked my google ads profile and there is no elements like religion, sexual orientation or health (unless you count fast food and running as health condition)
Do this for youtube ads too, please
Now ban the rest
based
So I will forever see ads with boobs in them instead of abs, biceps and beards?
