While we are encouraged by these initial efforts to regulate AI systems in Canada, we share several key concerns, with corresponding recommendations to improve the proposed framework, particularly under the Artificial Intelligence and Data Act (AIDA) of the newly tabled Bill C-27: Digital Charter Implementation Act, 2022.

In recent years, political campaigns have spent heavily on the platforms' algorithmic tools to target voters with online advertising. While the public interest in understanding how platforms perform the task of shaping the political discourse has never been higher, the efforts of the major platforms to make the necessary disclosures to understand their practices falls woefully short. In this study, we collect and analyze a dataset containing over 800,000 ads and 2.5 million videos about the 2020 U.S. presidential election from Facebook, Google, and TikTok. We conduct the first large scale data analysis of public data to critically evaluate how these platforms amplified or moderated the distribution of political advertisements. 1 We conclude with recommendations for how to improve the disclosures so that the public can hold the platforms and political advertisers accountable. CCS CONCEPTS • Applied computing → Law; • Information systems → Online advertising.
