Hey Meta, don't leave us on read 👻

Over 10k people have said no to Stalker Ads, so get them off our feed!

This week ORG joined Good Law Project outside Meta's offices in a joint action with People vs Big Tech and Eko to ask why they've done nothing 🤷‍♂️

You have a legal right to say no to Stalker Ads on Meta 🫵

Video titled 'Hey Meta, why are you ghosting us?' with footage of ORG's Campaigns Manager outside Meta's office in front of a digital display van saying, "We’re today in front of Meta’s offices because it’s been two months since 10,000 people have opted out of personal data being used for direct advertising. But Meta has done nothing. So we’re here on behalf of these people to ask why." The text says "Meta uses your personal data to sell targeted ads. When you exercise your right to object, they must act." An animated consent toggle swipes left and "Stop Stalker Ads" appears with the link to the opt out tool appearing underneath: action.openrightsgroup.org/meta-opt-out
