Adv. Assaf Harel, a partner who leads our firm’s Cyber-Security and Data Protection practice, addressed, in an interview to Bloomberg BNA, regarding a new decision of Israel’s Central Elections Committee, requiring disclosure of the identities of those who publish online election advertising on websites, social networks, and search engines.
The election committee’s decision is “important in terms of promoting transparency and preventing voter deception… The expectation is that the operators of social media platforms such as Facebook will play a key role in enforcing this decision”.
