IIUC, most large ad providers allow you to see and tailor what they use in their algorithms (ex. [1]).
I think the big problem with "Should every human have the right to understand that an algorithm has classified them in a certain way" is just that they flat out can't. You cannot design a trash can that every human can understand but a bear can't. There is a level of complexity that your average person won't be able to follow.

- jmpetroske 2y agoYeah there’s some controls, but they are much less granular than what ad-tech exposes. I’ve just never really been sure why Google/meta/etc. choose to expose this information differently for ads vs content.
