Of course this won't get passed in the current climate. But I'm really glad to see it on the agenda for some Senators and Representatives. I'm proud to see my rep, Jayapal, supports this bill. I hope this gains traction and becomes part of the national conversation. Each day we ignore the overreach of the executive branch, we step closer to becoming a police state.

Frankly it's hard to argue that we're not a police state already.

Because micro-targeting keys off additional information that aren't on voter rolls. Information like who's susceptible to conspiracy theories.

Micro-targeting allows political campaigns to run deceitful ads to targeted audiences, hiding their activities from the general public. Without micro-targeting, outlandish ads are seen by everyone and can be debated publicly. You can't have public debate in microcosms and that's a huge problem with Facebook today.
