Against Opacity, Outrage & Deception: Towards an ethical code of conduct for transparent, explainable, civil & informative digital political campaigns.

Research output: Working paper

Abstract

Our submission answers the following questions posed by the Select Committee: How has digital technology changed the way that democracy works in the UK and has this been a net positive or negative effect? Would greater transparency in the online campaigning of political groups improve the electoral process in the UK by ensuring accountability, and if so what should this transparency look like? What effect does online targeted advertising have on the political process, and what effects could it have in the future? Should there be additional regulation of political advertising?
