Description from store
Keep track of how political campaigns target you with social media ads while anonymously helping international research projects understand how election results are influenced by social media advertising.
The plugin identifies political ads from major parties and candidates, so you can review their content and targeting. The ads you contribute may be shared with reputable research projects and journalists. Our goal is to exemplify the transparency accountability people should expect from social media platforms and political campaigns to increase the trustworthiness of modern democracy.
The project has been covered by the BBC, New York Times, CNN and many others.
Who Targets Me is currently available in ENGLISH, GERMAN, SPANISH, ITALIAN, HUNGARIAN, RUSSIAN, LATVIAN, PORTUGUESE, SWEDISH, FINNISH, FRENCH, DUTCH, CROATIAN, UKRAINIAN, HEBREW, BULGARIAN, CZECH, ESTONIAN, GREEK, MACEDONIAN, POLISH, ROMANIAN, SLOVAKIAN, SLOVENIAN and MALTESE.
Users in the UK, across the EU, US, Canada, Ukraine and Israel will get personalised results as soon as they start to see political ads in their feed.
A full list of our international partners can be found on our website:

- (2021-03-09) Przemyslaw Bielicki: I just noticed I have it installed but besides active add-on I see no other impact. What is it really doing ? Isn't it actually targeting me ?
- (2019-10-15) Maklane deWever: Very interesting. Quite happy with the download.
- (2019-06-14) George Forth: Just sits there saying "Loading, thank you for your patience". It's been several weeks. Still waiting.
- (2019-05-20) n ascentt: Installed as I am curious what personal information untrusted websites have gathered on me. Am told I need to fill in an anonymous questionnaire before I start. 2 questions in, asks for my home post code. Uninstalled.

- (2019-01-21) Zsolt Náday: I don't line in the UK, and I don't remember any British political ad.
- (2019-01-08) Aleksi Knuutila: Who Targets Me seems like a solid piece of software. At first I wondered why it is requesting the right to read all websites, but looking at the code (openly available on Github), it's obvious that it focuses only on traffic to and from Facebook, and promoted ads specifically. I will be helping WhoTargets.me collect data from the Finnish elections. The information it gives me about what kinds of ads I see looks really interesting, I'm looking forward to having that information at hand.
- (2018-11-09) Matt Combes: I installed this because of the supposed points I was going to get from YouGov. Just had to run it through the election, they said, and then I'd bank like 7500 points. And here it is, November 8, and still nothing. I'm going to go ahead and uninstall. This extension isn't nearly as bad as the other one YouGov had me install (Facebook Political Ad Collector), but still pretty disappointed. Thanks for nothing, YouGov.

- (2023-03-26, v:2.1.0) Izet Plavsic: Uninstalling the extension
For about the 20+ times I am trying to uninstall your extension. I use windows 10 and google chrome. I remove the extension and after a restart the extension is installed again and I land on your "Set up Who Targets Me" Page that you would see when you install it. I am out of ideas how to remove your programm. - (2021-10-02, v:1.3.0) Rick Pattson: turn off adblocker?
might be a redundant question, but is it necessary to disable all adblockers (e.g. from uBlock, built-in in Brave, etc.)? would also interest me from a technical point of view why this is not or necessary. - (2021-07-23, v:1.3.0) Sillke Schulz: Profile Set up
Same problem as Stephan Streichhahn: can't set up my anonymous Profile after installingthe extension in Chrome. Regards, Silke - (2021-05-01, v:1.3.0) Stephan Sound: Registration?
Hey there, I have installed the Chrome extention and can't find any option to register. Did I miss something? Regards, Stephan
