New York As 2020 presidential candidates spend tens of millions of dollars on Facebook and Google ads, one senator is calling on the companies to restrict some of the powerful ways political campaigns can target American voters.
"I think it's time for Facebook and Google to voluntarily suspend micro-targeting of political and issue ads," Sen. Ron Wyden, an Oregon Democrat who's a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee, told CNN. The senator's concerns come at a time when some political campaigns are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars a week on online ads. Ad buyers can target voters based on their interests and where they live and can even upload lists of voters to target.
