Big Brother Wants Your Vote: How Critical Micro-targeting Influences Dutch Democracy
Beate Roessler [co-applicant], Prof. N. Helberger (Main applicant) receive funding from NWO (Maatschappelijk Verantwoord Innoveren) 2020 | Political parties send citizens tailored, microtargeted messages, hoping to get more votes.

This project studies the chances and threats of microtargeting to society and how to limit these threats and embrace the chances. Partners: AlgorithmWatch, DATACTIVE Ideas Lab, ProDemos, WhoTargetsMe
