To our readers: Help The Globe and Mail monitor political ads on Facebook during the election campaign

The Facebook Political Ad Collector , started by U.S.-based journalism non-profit ProPublica in 2017, was designed not only as a way to inventory political ads, but to see how they were targeted at users – such as by age, race, gender, geography or interests.

The Globe became a partner on the FBPAC project last year and has used it to report on Ontario’s and Quebec’s provincial elections and Toronto’s municipal vote. With ProPublica’s funding for the project having run out last year, it was looking for a new steward. The Globe took over because it is important to continue to monitor how entities around the world communicate with voters through advertising on the platform.

The Globe’s takeover of the FBPAC tool follows the federal government’s efforts to safeguard Canada’s electoral process, including new advertising regulations and efforts to battle disinformation.

So you want me to pay a subscription to your website then do research for you to report on your website? And on top of this, I subsidize your outlet through subsidies? Get bent.

Just don't monitor anything

Media nor Trudeau’s stacked panels should be “monitoring” political ads, citizens don’t need your narratives...they are smart enough to make their minds up themselves

How much do you pay?

Trudeau isn't paying you enough?

Lol. So if from Trudeau it’s ok but the rest?

Do it yourself
