Bebo, Facebook And YouTube Targeted For Political Ads

The Lisbon Referendum Commission is looking to change public policy, so they’ve decided to advertiser where they think their voters are, namely the major social networks. They feel that young people are using the sites, and that’s what makes them a good place to advertise.

Chairman of the commission, Mr Justice Iarfhlaith O’Neill, said that the commission would not engage in debate around the treaty issues.

However, he said the commission believes, in its considered opinion, that Ireland’s position on neutrality and tax would not be altered by the Lisbon Treaty.

The Referendum Commission is an independent body set up by law to ensure voters are informed about the issues involved in the 12 June referendum.

As well as providing impartial information, its role is to encourage citizens to vote

Bebo, Facebook, and YouTube are generally considered to be the most popular destinations for most of the world’s youths.
