Have you seen any gambling ads on social media recently?

If you have, then it is highly likely that Meta or Google has sold your personal information to gambling companies so they can deliver that ad to you easier.

Tech giants Meta and Google are making enormous profits by helping gambling companies target people, mainly men in their 20s & 30s, with precision-engineered ads

Meta and Google have designed an algorithm that knows when people are most susceptible, deciding the perfect moment to show you a gambling ad

instead of forcing social media corporations to stop this dangerous behaviour, Social Media Minister Patrick O'Donnovan wants to distract us with talk of compulsory Digital IDs — which do nothing to stop Meta and other tech giants from targeting people with dangerous gambling ads.

Let us know your thoughts in the comments, should big tech be forced to stop selling our information to Big Gambling companies and should they be banned from advertising such services?

If you or someone you know is struggling with problem gambling, you can access resources and support at Gambling Care. The Problem Gambling Helpline also provides a free, confidential phone service 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
