> The paper’s authors point out a number of cases where nanotargeting was used in a deceptive manner, including the time in 2017 that UK Labour politician Jeremy Corbyn, then leader of the government’s opposition party, decreed that Labour should run a Facebook ad campaign to encourage voter registration.
