THIS deserves and will receive significantly more antitrust attention. Google reportedly designed the coalition’s research approach, propped it up and will use its dominant browser to block a video ad format which *conveniently* doesn’t impact YouTube. /1 inc.com/jason-aten/goo…
For those out of the loop on adblocking, we’ve seen this playbook previously as Google was reported to subsidize and fund top adblockers to whitelist Google’s own search ads so they wouldn’t be blocked by Adblock Plus. See @RonWyden letter last month. /2 theverge.com/2020/1/14/2106…
Now in video, the idea that midroll ads which, yes interrupt a piece of video content, are going to be blocked by the browser because they don’t conform to YouTube’s preferred format which drives a majority of video ad spend? That’s entirely bs. /3

Even removing politics from this, I hope this opinion gets widely read as the perspective applies much more broadly across all aspects of life and leadership and not just who sits in the Oval Office. Please read.
Ok, I do confess I also enjoyed this Easter egg along the way from @HelaineWeinberg. 👋🏽 , Facebook.
“They are more likely to get passed over, and if they get angry, they are dismissed as scolds. There is, however, one role that older women are encouraged to assume in our society: that of moral arbiter, the person who decides what is right and what is wrong.”

The problem with this Economist presentation, including imagery for misleading buzzword “techlash,” is it presents Apple, Microsoft and Amazon to be under same negative pressure, societal concerns as Google and Facebook. That’s entirely false. @mikeallen axios.com/newsletters/ax…
In many ways, Microsoft and Apple, are benefiting from the concerns over Google and Facebook. They’re actually differentiating around paid services, data protection and security.
Yes, Amazon does have some antitrust scrutiny but it’s very specific to its commerce services and doesn’t include nearly 50 state AGs like Google and Facebook. “Techlash” is a buzzword needing to be banished.

1. The EU's GDPR privacy regulation comes into force today. Pretty well everyone - whether they like it or hate it - is treating it as a set of rules. That's a very limited perspective. It's not just a set of rules - it's a set of political opportunities.
2. Take this NYT article by Alison Cool - nytimes.com/2018/05/15/opi… . It complains that the GDPR is complex and ambiguous and that no-one understands it. For many actors, that is not a bug but a feature - they are struggling to define the ambiguities in ways that advantage them.
3. Facebook has made GDPR compliance a big part of its PR response to the Cambridge Analytica and Russian trolls disaster. But it is interpreting GDPR in an aggressively minimalistic way, looking to get the advantages of apparent compliance while not changing business model.

1. People who are focusing on Mark Zuckerberg's testimony to Congress are missing the point. What happens to Facebook in Europe is far more important - and the stakes just got far, far higher this morning thanks to a legal decision in Ireland.
2. Back in 2015, a young privacy activist and lawyer, @maxschrems took a court case in Ireland, where Facebook's European operations are based. He argued that Facebook, by transferring personal data to the US, was exposing it to mass surveillance and thus breaking EU privacy law.
3. If you want the gory details, read the later parts of this paper by @ANewman_forward and me, forthcoming in World Politics - dropbox.com/s/hf2uau5jq7h7… . No-one in the US took this case very seriously. They made a big mistake. The Irish High Court made a finding of fact that

What a year - and a monumental, round the clock effort - it has been to stay on top of Trump and his administration.

If you've wondered how it began or why I do this, here is the back story.

Thanks for your continued support! gofundme.com/VolunteerJourn…
This Facebook algorithm update to ostensibly "improve the experience" is also a kill shot aimed at independent news orgs and citizen journalists. Facebook will prioritize content that isn't political under the guise of curbing fake news. theguardian.com/technology/201…
Zuckerberg used the media to build a booming customer base and now is extorting more $$ from media orgs for more exposure on Facebook. Lazy/petrified/well-heeled orgs will shell out to maintain their addiction to Facebook. Independent/low budget media orgs/journos get screwed.
