European privacy rights groups have launched a campaign to stop social media platforms and internet search engines from “spying” on users through online advertising by filing GDPR complaints with nine EU data regulators.
The #StopSpyingOnUs campaign, made up of 12 human rights and digital rights organizations, has filed complaints in Germany, France, Belgium, Italy, Estonia, Bulgaria, Hungary, Slovenia, and the Czech Republic over “unlawful techniques” used by internet firms to sell advertising.
