We found that a firm with deep ties to Kristi Noem secretly benefitted from the deal.

A lot of things matter to me in choosing what I work on, and who I work for. Money is one. It isn't the only one. It isn't even the most important one. I have an in-my-head sliding scale I use - the better your work matches my #ethical framework, the less #lucre it takes to convince me to help you.

So if you're using "AI" to build #algorithmic pricing systems to sell to companies so they can #gouge people needing services in their most #desperate hour? I *might* entertain a rate of $1000 per hour to shit on your head. There isn't enough #money in the world to get me to help you build that stuff.

On the other hand, if you're a small #company, selling actual #goods or #services to #customers who want and need them, as opposed to building something #shiny to attract the rubes so you can sell your audience to the #advertising industry? And you need a techie person?

Let's talk.

Cookie consent rules aren't the biggest barrier to privacy-preserving advertising technologies being widely used.

Ads without personal data are often blocked from being traded by intermediaries in the market.

So lowering regulation instead of enforcement isn't the answer to tackle intrusive tracking.

Cookies feed the beast of targeted advertising 🍪

The Information Commissioner's Office (UK) wants the adtech industry to use less-invasive forms of tracking by exempting them from cookie consent rules.

But will this stop the privacy-be-damned trade in our data to feed us adverts?

Our roundtable had its say ⬇️

Relaxing cookie consent rules is unlikely to leverage change in the adtech industry towards non-intrusive online tracking.

There must be:

⚫ More effective and dissuasive action by the ICO to remove illegal advertising.

⚫ Enforce data protection.

⚫ Protect law-abiding market players from the unfair competition of adtech companies who violate our privacy.

#adtech #privacy #dataprotection #ICO #ukpolitics #ukpol #advertising

Trying to nudge the adtech industry into more privacy-preserving models of online tracking by cutting our need to consent is flawed.

The Information Commissioner's Office (UK) is terrible at enforcing consent rules for adtech providers that run behavioural tracking as it stands.

So the ICO is offering a carrot with no stick 🤷‍♂️
