Investigație Snoop: Ce sunt „codurile urii”. Guvernul din Rusia cunoaște datele românilor care consumă, preponderent, spoturi online asociate sentimentului de ură

An investigation by Snoop.ro reveals that the Russian advertising network AdNow collects data on Romanian users interested in hate-related content. This data is linked to tracking codes from platforms like Facebook and can be accessed by the Russian government due to local laws. The report highlights the use of IAB codes to categorize ads, particularly those promoting hate speech, and how these ads can mislead users to Russian sites. Experts warn that the extensive data collection in the digital advertising industry poses risks of surveillance and manipulation of public opinion.
