July 2021

Response position and delivery status are recorded separately. Acceptance does not establish implementation.

Recommendation

Social media platforms’ advert libraries should, as a minimum, include all adverts that fit the legal definitions of election campaigning in UK law. Social media platforms should ensure their advert libraries contain the following information: • precise figures for amounts spent, rather than ranges • who paid for the advert • for targeted adverts, information about the intended target audience of the advert and the types of people who actually saw the advert.
