To stop Meta from using the migrant crisis as a marketplace to line their pockets, ORG calls for:

⚫ A clear and explicit OPT-IN for targeted advertising.

⚫ Full transparency on how ads are targeted in Meta's public ad library.

⚫ Proper resourcing for pre-publication ad moderation — to catch fraud and harmful content before it reaches users.
