Big announcement from Google just now.
THIS is how press should provide context to any Google adtech announcement. Big ups to the WSJ reporters and editors who consistently call it straight. Let’s see how many other embargo’d reports do this. 1/2

I’ll review and offer comments in a bit but this is the report. 2/2 wsj.com/articles/googl…
Hat tip also deserved to NYT as their report is also strong and clear starting with the headline which I am certain Google absolutely hates but is accurate. This isn’t a way to block tracking but instead preserve it. ht @daiwaka @kateconger @bxchen nytimes.com/2022/01/25/bus…
We can also play, “let’s see who else got the embargo from Google PR?” All went out at 8am ET.
Some thoughts from me having now read Google’s post. Google is simply preserving its ability to mine browsing history across the web and our lives and leverage this data for its own financial interests. It doesn’t matter if the targeting is restricted by time or ‘topics.’
By broadly sharing these new dossiers of our most recent web activity and offering no ability for websites to curtail Google’s tracking, Google continues to treat websites and apps as interchangeable commodities - something very much in line with its monopoly interests.
At least that’s how I read it… ;)
