Episode Synopsis

Advertising is becoming harder than ever before to hold accountable, which raises important concerns about the legacy of abuses that have characterised the industry. Predatory advertising, discrimination, and the circulation of false and harmful messaging are harder to detect and regulate online because there is no public archive of online ads. The Australian Ad Observatory provides one model for enlisting citizens to help provide transparency for online advertising.

In this episode, the ADM+S Australian Ad Observatory team and two panels of experts discuss the issues raised by online advertising and how we might address them.
Our first panel includes representatives from the Victorian Health Promotion Foundation, consumer advocacy group CHOICE, the Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education (FARE), and the Consumer Policy Research Centre (CPRC).
Our second panel includes representatives from the research team at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Automated Decision Making and Society (ADM+S), the ABC and the Australian Communications Consumer Action Network.
