Did you know that in the EU, minors cannot be targeted by online target ads?

Under the Digital Services Act, targeted advertising is not allowed for minors. This Act is supported by a team of scientists from the European Centre for Algorithmic Transparency (ECAT), part of the Joint Research Centre of the @EuropeanCommission.

JRC scientists are helping the EU better understand the world of algorithms and regulate online activities. Also, they are studying the long-term impacts of algorithmic systems, to help the EU develop future-proof policies.
