🇩🇪 The Berlin DPA (Data Protection Authority) has reprimanded several major German political parties (#CDU, #SPD, BÜNDNIS 90/DIE GRÜNEN, #DIELINKE) for using sensitive political interests to target internet users with personalised political #advertising. ⚖️ The complaint against the far-right party #AfD is currently still pending. 👤 Such "microtargeting" is only possible because online platforms create extensive user profiles, making it a threat to democratic elections. 🚨
