Description
Die Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Werbetechnik des Microtargeting, bei der auf Grundlage von personenbezogenen Daten politische Anzeigen an die Bedürfnisse der zu Zielgruppen segmentierten Bürger angepasst werden. Untersucht wird die gegenwärtige Regulierung durch das internationale, unionale und deutsche Recht, welche mit Blick auf die von politischem Microtargeting ausgehenden Risiken Defizite offenlegt, die im Besonderen Rechtsgüter demokratischer politischer Gemeinschaften gefährden. »Political Microtargeting and Election Interference«: This thesis examines the advertising technology of political microtargeting, which enables the tailoring of political advertisements to the needs of citizens based on personal data. It analyses the existing regulatory framework under international, EU, and German law and demonstrates that, in light of the risks posed by political microtargeting, significant regulatory shortcomings remain. These deficiencies are particularly detrimental to the legal interests underpinning democratic political communities. The author studied law at the University of Konstanz from 2015 to 2021.
