Political Ads LibraryThe Data Privacy Lab at Harvard, part of the Public Interest Tech Lab, created an archive in 2016 to document online political ads that appeared on platforms like Facebook and Google during and after the 2016 U.S. elections (politicaladslibrary.org), and it was the first archive to do so. The archive contains more than three million searchable ads, online from 2015 through 2019. The effort included lab members and student fellows from Harvard, Cornell, and UC Davis. The effort was led by Jinyan Zang and Latanya Sweeney. Team members include (in alphabetical order): Pascal Delpe-Brice, Kevin Ngo, Nandhini, Soheil Sadabadi, Latanya Sweeney, and Jinyan Zang. |
