By being shown specific advertisements on Facebook, people are only forming their opinions around what they see. Facebook is manipulating people into having a certain opinion, which is not an ethical use of user's internet history.
Tracking and sharing of "mundane" details such as calendars and schedules increase convenience and cooperation among participants, and this example applies to political ads and tracking.
Audiences supply data to candidates, ads that are clicked help supply information for candidates to know what topics are important to touch on when campaigning and debating.
Ethical to use political data to target audiences, lots of people engaged because of politics in general its a strong way to create accurate data because people are passionate thru the advertisements
User data being shared since Facebook, legality over ethics is strong. Users have to be aware of the data being shared understanding how it will be used
People are unaware of what information is being used, how their information is being used, and who has access to their information, therefore it is unethical
The user does not give consent as to who this information is given to and how it is used. Since the person has no say in the distribution of their personal info it is not ethical.
The political content that will be available to the person in question will be representative of the views of those around them/in their immediate geographic area - this creates an echo chamber and actually prohibits one from expanding views and seeing new things

"In a health care context, for example, patients expect their physicians to keep personal medical information confidential. Patients’ expectations would be breached and they would likely be shocked and dismayed if they learned that their information was sold to a marking firm." Need content to do so

Targeted ads can have a higher chance to contain fake or misleading information that their target audience will accept as truth due to the asymmetric information divide btw advertisers and users
tracking user data is not a novel idea, and users have basically become used to this for a while now. why should political advertising be treated any differently from other advertising?
Sharing of user data is not new. It's been around for years. Sharing of data is okay as long as users agree to share that data and all the terms it entails.
As long as users are informed and agree with sharing the data and all the terms that go along with it (i.e, how it is shared, who it's shared with), then it is ethical.
Tracking does not infringe on anyone's rights. If anything, it gives people the opportunity to see items gauged towards them and allow them to do their due diligence on political research on their preferred candidates.
