Check My Ads is
building a safer,
permanent future
for democracy.


The digital advertising industry now controls a dangerous mix of your personal data and $700B worth of ads from brands. They know who you are. They can influence what you buy. And they’re willing to work with anyone—giving bad actors unrestricted access to spread lies around the world in seconds.

Now, powerful tools meant to sell us products are being abused to create differences between people, causing chaos and outrage over everything from politics to library books to how we feel about our next-door neighbors.

Our team works closely with consumers, brands, and regulators to defend your freedom from the industry’s most shameful, irresponsible practices.
