Ad targeting has horrific externalities on society in the name of eliminating perceived waste in ad spending. Since the market has been captured by a ruthless duopoly, it’s time to tax the true cost of “free” services. #SurveillanceCapitalism
Google and Facebook captured 77% of advertising revenue from local newspapers. These communities are being robbed of their civic vitality to make rich tech robber barons richer. It’s time to give back. wsj.com/graphics/local…
Sheryl Sandberg insists to Congress that TV advertising is too expensive for small business so that’s why the duopoly needs to enjoy free reign to capture the ad market. But my cable provider runs ads telling local businesses they can sell ads for the cost of search and digital.

John Bolton’s SuperPAC was the initial Cambridge Analytica test client using the Kogan/Chancellor illicit Facebook data harvest. It was reportedly used for TAA (target audience analysis) to find pro-war voters. And here we are. nytimes.com/2019/05/13/wor…
I always bring receipts. From the @chrisinsilico docs given to @CommonsCMS House of Commons Committee. Redacted email chain starts page 48 in the PDF. parliament.uk/business/commi…
@chrisinsilico @CommonsCMS Bolton was experimenting with psychographic YouTube targeting for the 2014 midterms. It doesn't matter if you think it's effective or not. It's the insane mindset of bringing in a British defense contractor to do your campaign strategy. theguardian.com/us-news/2018/m…

As if Alexander Nix at @CannesLions wasn’t bad enough. Cambridge Analytica’s Chief Data Officer is speaking at AI For Good (!) even though he committed mass data abuse breaking UK Data Protection Act in US elections. File under Unbearable Rehabilitations. aiforgood.itu.int/speakers/
Here’s a receipt for that striking allegation. I have others that I won in UK courts that we can save for another day. This is from UK ICO report to Parliament.
Senate Judiciary members have unanswered questions about Cambridge Analytica that weren’t revealed in the redacted Mueller Report and yet some of the scoundrel executives in question are being celebrated and recuperated at conferences. Bannon-level Unreal.

Essa semana me resolvi c o Pablo Villaça e o Let Dex -- ambos de lados bem opostos no espectro político, o que mostra que c alguma boa vontade dá pra dissolver antipatias c praticamente qlq pessoa

(não os marquei pra que as respostas a esse tweet nao encham o saco dos caras)
c um pouco de boa vontade eu realmente acho q dá pra se dar melhor c TODO MUNDO, ou praticamente todo mundo.

E Abraham Lincoln dizia q qnd vc disfaz uma inimizade, na pratica de "destruiu um inimigo". É uma forma extremamente positiva de se enxergar as coisas
é o que eu tentarei fazer daqui em diante. E na real qnt mais velho eu fico, menos eu guardo rancor. Literalmente qlq pessoa q se aproxime querendo resolver uma desavença eu aceito de boa e respondo na moral

Sim, até alguem q me atacou no passado.

Deixa eu contar uma das histórias mais divertidas sobre subsídios. É bastante recente, vcs devem lembrar de qndo a Coca Cola tava ameaçando sair do Brasil por causa da mudança de IPI coordenada pra acomodar o subsídio ao frete, na época da greve dos caminhoneiros
Vcs devem imaginar q Temer subiu o IPI e a Coca Cola chiou. Mas aqui é BRASIL, glr, a coisa nunca é a óbvia. Pois não é q Temer BAIXOU O IPI dos refrigerantes?! Isso mesmo, baixou de 20% para 4%, e isso deixou a Coca Cola putassa
Segue o raciocínio: como o frete iria pesar, o Governo BAIXOU os impostos de alguns produtos pra não ter aumento do preço ao consumidor (inflação). Só q a Coca Cola tá na Zona Franca de Manaus, q tem redução ou isenção de uma penca de tributos federais e estaduais pq é longe

Women's day wishes for brands:

1. Nykaa - you're awesome. Start a subscription box.

2. W - NOBODY WEARS TASSELS TO A WORK MEETING. STOP MAKING KURTAS WITH BOBBLES AND TASSELS.

3. Zivame - MOAR swimsuits.

4. NO ONE IN INDIA MAKES SENSIBLE WORK/FLAT SHOES
Warehouse, Westside, Nuon, Melange, Allen Solly, And (other Indian high street western wear brands).

By the time I can afford your clothes, I can't fit into a size 8 or go to work in a mini dress. Make knee length dresses for women with hips. Yes.
Sephora. You suck in India. Your staff is bored and disinterested and you only stock for fair skin tones. #waste

Whisper start a subscription box.

Bring back cuticura.

Bombay Paisley. Make clothes I can wear to a meeting not brunch.

filha do Messi com o Suárez
@tadsh
Cada like um tuíte com um fato real que fundamentou a minha fanfic que DOCUMENTA a verdade de Messi e Suárez serem um casal vivendo um amor proibido.
Messi e Suarez moram no mesmo bairro em Barcelona, no município de Castelldelfes.
Por serem vizinhos, eles vão todos os dias juntos para o trabalho. O Luis é quem dirige, já que é quem passa para buscar o Messi.

Never ever invoke the ire of Gays™️ like this again, you messy rag of a publication.
I am by no means a Britney stan, in that I don’t have an encyclopedic knowledge of her work nor have I seen her perform live. HOWEVER, as a person whose entire adolescent soundtrack included Britney’s hits as they happened in real time, this take is hot festering trash.
First of all, Britney Spears is a world class dancer. Her choreography from her 2002-2004 shows/videos ALONE would leave Taylor Swift collapsed on the floor in rehearsal sobbing and suing everyone in the room.
