    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.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Episode 70: Ad Tech at a Turning Point with Allison Schiff of AdExchanger
Q: What would meaningful industry engagement look like in this context, and what should vendors consider doing next?
Meaningful engagement would involve clear, public stances about not selling certain sensitive data for government purposes, more accountable governance, and a move away from vague commitments toward concrete, auditable policies.
Episode 70: Ad Tech at a Turning Point with Allison Schiff of AdExchanger
Q: What was your takeaway from the ICE RFI piece—the silence, the responses, and the broader implications for the industry?
She interprets the silence as a calculated risk by companies aware of how their position would look publicly, highlighting the tension between transparency and pragmatic risk management in a fast-changing regulatory landscape.
Episode 70: Ad Tech at a Turning Point with Allison Schiff of AdExchanger
Q: Before we get into the juicy topics, can you share a bit about Allison Schiff's background and how you got into the digital media space?
Allison describes falling into the field after studying journalism and moving to a role at AdExchanger, where she learned on the job about DSPs, SSPs, and RTB, eventually growing into a senior editorial position and a focus on privacy and ad tech trends.
Episode 67: Everything’s an ad network & everyone’s a data broker
Q: What's the single biggest ongoing misconception you encounter about data brokers or privacy rules?
Ben notes that many executives still claim they don't sell data, despite policies and enforcement showing monetization and data sharing occur in many forms; he emphasizes the need for true privacy by design and transparent data practices, especially for AI tools and ad platforms.
Episode 67: Everything’s an ad network & everyone’s a data broker
Q: Can you walk us through how California defines a data broker under the CCPA and the Delete Act, and whether those definitions diverge?
The guest explains that California's framework broadens the data broker concept beyond traditional brokers by focusing on data combinations and monetization across platforms, including the Delete Act implications; the definitions interact with what constitutes a direct relationship and how data is sold or shared across ecosystems, with substantial overlap and divergence depending on the law.
