 * Hello-- after reading over the article, I noticed some changes that would improve the quality of this Wiki page on the topic of Microtargeting.

Below are a few suggestions addressing the question "how can the article be improved":

The article's structure; grammar and sentence structure; improved list of diversified sources; the article needs to present a worldwide view(not just Microtargetin in the United States); addition of a section that addresses the implications of microtargeting on underrepresented populations(In other words, does microtargeting disproportionately affect people of a certain race, ethnicity or economic background?); removal of long quotes that are irrelevant and don't contribute beneficial information; and lastly, possibly, an additional section on the technology behind microtargeting e.g algorithms.

I look forward to positively contributing & improving this page! — Esk00 (talk) 03:00, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
