International coalition calls for action against surveillance-based advertising forbrukerradet.no

This report not only summarizes and categorizes the harmful consequences of surveillance-based advertising (manipulation, discrimination, misinformation, underminding competition, security risks, and privacy violations) but presents surveillance free alternatives …along with a call to policymakers to ban surveillance advertising:

My occasionally sent email newsletter has all of the above, and there is of course also an RSS feed or my Mastodon/Fediverse profile.
