New York needs to lead the nation,
set the highest standards, and strive for GDPR adequacy to maintain lawful and protected flows of data internationally. Splinternet is the alternative so tech lobbyists *must* support #NewYorkPrivacyAct to prove they’re serious about adequacy.
☑️ARPU disclosure: no valuation of personal data is terribly meaningful unfortunately, but at least Average Revenue Per User tells a consumer exactly how they are merchandised to investors. #NewYorkPrivacyAct #DataRights

If 4% of iOS users are *NOT* blocking cross-app data tracking then the whole adtech economy ought to collapse because it is so obviously fraudulent. It does not measure anything of aggregate value anymore because it is no longer representative of anything terribly meaningful.
(Deleted a mangled and typo’d tweet. There is a clear and present use case for an edit button. That’s the thing even though it’s also a ridiculous information veracity UX conundrum.)
Marketers: Consumers who install adblockers are our most savvy and desirable target audiences because we know they are real humans who reject ads rather than scammers cheating ad networks at scale with automated fraud.

Everyone else: WTAF.

Love how marketing and tech types criticize Apple for running its company like a business. They seem to mistake Tim Cook as the chair of the FTC.
“Random anonymous unregulated third-party vendors ought to be able to collect and transact data covertly and opaquely but Apple has its own profits and shareholder value in mind! What gives?”
Marketing and tech people literally cannot get their head around the notion that Apple does not need to mine personal data to make obscene profits. They seem to have forgotten how businesses models work otherwise.

It’s a good thing adtech collects and breaches everyone’s personal data at scale so that advertisers can pretend they are not wasting their advertising budgets. Oh wait… wsj.com/articles/marke…
So adtech fraud consultant is a booming career path because the industry is a dumpster fire and I do regret not developing an elective course on deep adtech forensics at this juncture.
The ad industry and its enablers in big tech argue to lawmakers that personal data extraction and exploitation is the engine of the economy. The problem is we do not know how much is fraudulent. Of that, we don’t know how much ad money is diverted into organized crime.

Watching Congressional hearing on ALGOS #PublicInterestInternet judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/algor…
Senator Durbin will introduce for the Cleans Slate for Kids Online act - legal right to demand to delete all personal data collected under Age of 13. Every kid needs a reset button. But honestly, every human deserves this right. #datarights
Monica Bikert of FB touts newsfeed controls incl. disabling algorithmically ranked feed in favor of a reverse chronology of “eligible content” — but of course this begs the question as to why the latter is not the default and the ranked feed is the option. #PublicInterestInternet

What is a #darkpattern and why is @ftc looking into it? This thread illustrates an example of abusive unfairness that I’m sure you’ll find familiar. This disgraceful conduct is routinely celebrated by the growth hacker and digital marketing community as best practices.
Learn more about @ftc’s #darkpatterns upcoming workshop by reading @techpolicypress right here techpolicy.press/taking-action-…
#darkpatterns emerge in digital products when dashboards and split tests dominate the decisions at companies. Without incentives, privileges, and/or moral compass to question and challenge abusive design from within, #darkpatterns often expose the dark side of a business model.
