The law (Digital Services Act) doesn't distinguish between left-wing and right-wing, but fostering political division and radicalizing vulnerable people seems a lot more likely to be done for right wing purposes and this kind of transparency undermines their effectiveness.
Another thing it does is ban advertising based on sexual orientation, religion, ethnicity, or political leanings, which "ironically" disproportionately affects one side more than the other too.
