Who Targets You?

  • A chrome/firefox extension that tracks which entities are targeting which demographics with adverts
  • Read more about how it works at whotargets.me/the-problem
  • (This project is not endorsed by Facebook or any political party. The purpose of the project is to raise awareness of the use of targeted political advertising in UK elections.)

Deploy

  • Only distribute the /extension/ dir.
  • Ignore the other stuff.

Test

  • The facebook parser, the main event, is an independent Function constructor, which allows it to be loaded by extension content scripts (for actual parsing), but also for testing.
  • Loading /testsuite/ in the browser displays a static sample facebook timeline, and a visible display of the parser's output.
  • You're advised to test all parser changes here, before pushing to production.
  • Please add weird new advert formats to /testsuite/index.html so we can test against more ads.
