Twitter is introducing a feature that allows users to turn off certain types of advertisement targeting. Congratulations! Although not yet available to all members, the controls allow users to access data relating to their demographic and interests, and which advertisers have included them in their tailored audiences. The page will also show the user's interests, based on profile activity, such as "cartoons" and "politics". These interests can be removed, but cannot be added to. Facebook has been criticised for its use of targeted advertising by privacy campaigners, who say it violates users' privacy.
