Reviews

  • Adtech Truth

    Perhaps I’m biased as I was a guest, but I’ve listened since episode one — interesting lineup of guests going into the weeds on the economics and privacy implications of advertising.

    One sided and political at times. I’ll try another download and see if it stays in the player or not.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 46: A legal critique of the Google Antitrust Remedies Decision
Q: What were your thoughts on Judge Mehta's decision?
Daniel believes the remedies decision fell short of expectations and failed to impose necessary structural remedies to address monopolistic behavior.
Episode 42: Contextual Integrity in the ads space
Q: Can you summarize your understanding of what first-party data is and share why you think that notion, that first-party might be better, is misguided?
First-party data is often assumed to be safer, but this view is misguided as the context of data flow and recipient matters more than the classification of data as 'first' or 'third'. Privacy should be understood through the lens of contextual integrity, considering social norms and appropriate data sharing.
Episode 43: Behind the curtain at the FTC
Q: How has the leadership change at the FTC affected its direction?
There was a strong sense of whiplash when Ferguson took over, emphasizing a shift in priorities from Khan's approach.
Episode 43: Behind the curtain at the FTC
Q: What was your biggest eye-opener from transitioning to the FTC from journalism?
The FTC's processes involve far more red tape compared to the fast-paced newsrooms.
Episode 43: Behind the curtain at the FTC
Q: Can you provide insight on the FTC's recent CIDs and their implications?
The CIDs were perceived as politically motivated, creating a vague affiliation with consumer harm.
