noyb and ZDF Magazin Royale seek data donors to enforce GDPR micro‑targeting ban

noyb and ZDF Magazin Royale are asking users of the "Who Targets Me" browser extension from the 2021 German federal election to donate their data. The aim is to find a case to enforce the GDPR prohibition on political micro‑targeting under Article 9. Donated data will be reviewed and deleted if no "hit" is found.

Why it matters: The campaign could lead to a GDPR enforcement action against political micro‑targeting.
