Podcasts about privacy sandbox

In today's MadTech Daily, we discuss Netflix inking a linear TV deal with TF1, Trump delaying the TikTok ban for a third time, TikTok Shop launching in Japan, and the CMA tossing Google's Privacy Sandbox a lifeline.

In this episode, AdTechGod interviews James Rosewell, co-founder of Movement for an Open Web, discussing the evolution of the open web, the implications of the Privacy Sandbox, the importance of web browsers, and the future of regulation in the digital advertising landscape. They explore the impact of political changes on antitrust initiatives and the need for market certainty, while also providing resources for listeners to stay informed about these developments. Takeaways James Rosewell founded Movement for an Open Web to address concerns about the Privacy Sandbox. The open web must offer advertisers a good return on investment and protect content rights. Privacy Sandbox can now compete on its merits without coercion from Google. Web browsers play a crucial role in the digital advertising ecosystem. Regulation is needed to ensure fair competition in the browser market. Political changes are influencing antitrust motivations in the US. Market certainty is essential during the appeal process for Google. The European Commission is taking steps towards divestiture of Google. Funding models for web browsers need to be reevaluated. Resources are available for those wanting to learn more about the open web movement.

From WPP's dramatic rebrand and layoffs to the Meta antitrust trial's conclusion and fresh Nielsen numbers, the episode weaves together the mounting pressure of rapid technological change and its human cost. Key Discussion Points: WPP rebrands Group M as “WPP Media” under an AI-first strategy, but the move triggers confusion and layoffs impacting up to 45% of staff. The broader advertising industry is facing an AI reckoning, as companies move faster than ever with minimal oversight or infrastructure for displaced workers. Meta's antitrust trial wraps, with the FTC accusing the company of a “buy or bury” strategy—highlighting internal emails and challenging definitions of competition. Despite social media's waning ability to foster community, creator marketing continues to boom—but may need reevaluation for long-term brand building. Nielsen's April report shows streaming now holds 44% of total TV usage, with ad-supported content making up 72% of viewership; Grey's Anatomy tops the charts. Learn more about your ad choices.

Last month, Google announced it is no longer planning to roll-out a ‘user-choice' feature allowing users to opt out of being tracked by third-party cookies on Chrome. Notably, Anthony Chavez, VP Privacy Sandbox at Google, said in a blogpost that this decision comes off the back of industry feedback.On this episode of the Performance Marketing Unlocked podcast, Jyoti Rambhai, PMW's Premium Content Editor (1:44), joins host Joe to put this news under the magnifying glass and analyse exactly what this means for the industry at large.Together, the pair attempt to answer some key question, such as: are third-party cookies here to stay? Is first-party data still an industry priority? And does Google feat the DOJ will really force it to sell Chrome?This podcast was hosted by PMW's Multimedia Editor, Joseph Arthur.~ Episode breakdown ~ (1:44) Google is not deprecating third-party cookies on Chrome – why?(13:41) Is user privacy really an industry priority?~ Further reading ~ Google reveals third-party cookies are here to stay‘Stop thinking about what Google is going to do next': Adland reacts to third-party cookie plans being scrappedThe future lies in first-party data: Lessons learnt from Google's 'flip-flopping' decisions Hosted on Acast.

Ubuntu Pro (https://ubuntu.com/pro) could let him kick the can a little. Upgrades generally go well (https://documentation.ubuntu.com/server/how-to/software/upgrade-your-release/index.html) unless you have a bunch of 3rd party repos. Always have a backup (https://rescuezilla.com) before any major changes.

When the going gets tough, Big Tech finds a way to shift the blame. This week's news? Google quietly backs out of cookie deprecation, fights for control in court, and Apple slowly makes its ad empire move. In todays news we cover: Google waves the white flag on cookies — After five years of chaos, Google scraps its opt-out prompt. The Privacy Sandbox isn't officially dead, but it's definitely on life support. What we learned — We gave Google too much power. We waited too long to call BS. But it did push the industry to build something better—and AI might be the next frontier. Search monopoly trial kicks off — DOJ proposes radical remedies: selling Chrome, banning default deals, even forcing Google to license its search data. Google's own proposals? Pretty weak. Apple Ads rises quietly — With hardware revenue stalling, Apple is rebranding its ad business and prepping for a bigger move. Think: proprietary data, closed-loop measurement, and Taboola partnerships. A new reality — Google's cookie exit may change nothing and everything. And Apple might be the next walled garden advertisers can't ignore. In closing: RIP to your cookie POV decks. You deserved better. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Mobile attribution is getting better than ever before. And that's in spite of it becoming more and more complex.There's so many measurement methodologies. Advanced SAN. AEM. Advanced AEM. Unified Measurement. SKAN. AAK. Privacy Sandbox. GAID. IDFA. Probabilistic. Modeled.You name it, there's MORE of everything.But in spite of all that, mobile attribution is getting better. Way better. And maybe, it's actually BECAUSE of all that. And the great news: it's also getting EASIER.Makes sense? Insane?Impossible?Check out this convo in Growth Masterminds between John Koetsier and Singular CTO Eran Friedman

In this episode, we delve into the evolving landscape of digital advertising, where privacy and precision intersect. Our guest, Gaylord Zach, Head of Mobile Product at Verve, brings his expertise to the forefront, exploring how the advertising industry can adapt to a privacy-first world without sacrificing effectiveness. With regulations like GDPR and Apple's ATT reshaping the ad tech ecosystem, Gaylord unpacks the challenges advertisers face today, from diminished data signals to the rising importance of trust and transparency. Throughout the discussion, we learn how Verve is pioneering solutions like ATOM, their anonymized targeting technology, which identifies user cohorts while safeguarding individual privacy. Gaylord also shares insights into leveraging AI at the edge and integrating Google's Privacy Sandbox to redefine audience targeting. Tune in to discover how advertisers and publishers can thrive in this new era of privacy-conscious innovation while maintaining meaningful connections with their audiences. Today's Topics Include: Why targeting is crucial for advertisers and publishers Verve's approach to user privacy in ad targeting Privacy-first targeting approach Addressing relevant audiences without identifying individual users Practical example of such implementation Handling big diversity in targeting How Verve uses AI for its ATOM solution data processing Example of such usage What 3rd party ad targeting tech Verve team has tested and implemented so far Links and Resources: Gaylord Zach on LinkedIn Verve website ATOM solution Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry Quotes from Gaylord Zach: "For publishers aiming to monetize effectively, it's crucial to represent their inventory accurately so advertisers can confidently invest in ad placements. Advertisers need to target the right audience, personalize messages, and present them with the best possible creatives. This helps create a good match between the ad campaign and the user. Finally, advertisers must measure campaign success and attribute performance to the relevant placements." "Our technology, known as ATOM—short for "Anonymized Targeting on Mobile"—enables us to identify relevant user cohorts and create audience segments directly on the user's device. This approach allows us to deliver personalized ads without relying on third-party data, thus preserving user privacy. " Host Business Of Apps - connecting the app industry since 2012

Time for a Newsroom summarizing everything that's happened in our usual areas of focus, although we are dropping the last two (Zero-Party Data and Future of media) this time around.  ePrivacy & Regulatory Updates Enforcement On September 5th, the CNIL fined CEGEDIM SANTÉ 800,000 euros for processing health data without authorization. The healthcare software provider collected sensitive personal information, assigning a unique identifier for each patient of the same doctor. This method was considered sufficient to ensure that personal data remained anonymous in order to put together certain comparative studies, but the CNIL concluded that, given the risk of re-identification, it could merely be considered pseudonymized, exposing a breach of the GDPR as a result (for starters, patients had not been informed of additional purposes). A Reference was made to the EDPB's Opinion 05/2014 on Anonymisation Techniques.  On September 27th The Irish DPC issued a 91 million euro fine to Meta for storing certain user passwords in plain text files.  On October 22nd, NOYB filed a claim against Pinterest before the French supervisory authority alleging that the company relies on legitimate interest to underpin its behavioral advertising practices, in contravention of the CJEU Bundeskartellamt decision. The social network has also been accused of breaching the transparency principle and not responding to data subject requests appropriately.  On October 24th, the Irish DPC imposed a 310m EUR fine on LinkedIn. The professional social network is not properly applying a valid legal basis for targeted ads and the processing of first party data about their members, despite referring to three separate grounds: consent, legitimate interest and contractual necessity. This has also resulted in a breach of the fairness principle. On October 30th, the California Privacy Protection Agency announced an investigative sweep of data broker registration compliance under the Delete Act. This law requires data brokers to register with the CPPA and pay a fee annually.  On November 6th, the Canadian government ordered the closure of TikTok in the country. Citizens are however allowed to keep using the app, as this is considered a personal choice.  Legal updates and guidelines On October 4th, the CJEU resolved a famous dispute between the Royal Dutch Lawn Tennis Association and the Dutch DPA. The latter had imposed a fine on KNLTB for relying on legitimate interest for sharing data with its sponsors for purposes of direct marketing. Five days later, the EDPB requested comments on its draft Opinion on processing data on the basis of Legitimate Interest: It is made clear that this legal basis should not be treated as a “last resort” as it is of equal value to the rest, and a differentiation is made between an interest (or broader benefit that a controller may have) and a purpose (or specific reason why the data is processed). The Opinion has also stated that an interest must be related to the data controller's activities. On the same day (October 9th), the EDPB adopted its Opinion 22/2024 on certain obligations following from the reliance on processors and sub-processors: every controller should extend the diligence they currently have over direct processors to the entire chain of custody, no matter how many degrees apart.  On October 16th, the EDPB adopted new Guidelines on the technical scope of article 5.3 of the ePrivacy Directive: given that very little has changed since they opened up an initial draft for comments, we recorded a separate episode with Peter Craddock pondering the far reaching implications of these Guidelines.  Turning our attention to the UK, on October 7th the UK ICO launched its own Data Protection Audit Framework including self-assessment toolkits and other practical resources.  Also, the UK Data Protection reform is back, now with a Data Use and Access Bill (with a second reading announced on November 1st). It maintains an exception for analytics cookies that will not require consent. DPOs are back on the table (the previous reform proposal was getting rid of the role).  On November 5th EDPB adopted its first report under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and a statement on the recommendations on access to data for law enforcement. The redress mechanism has been implemented successfully but it is yet not being widely used. The EDPB has voiced concerns about recent changes to Section 702 FISA and how that could expand the role of private companies in gathering data about EU citizens.  MarTech and AdTech On November 12th, Meta introduced a plan C to its Pay or Consent models, having been told by the EDPB that the current proposal would not be acceptable. A third option (besides paying and relying on behavioral ads) is now available which will use less data and remain mostly contextual. It will also compensate its decreased targeting capabilities with increased audience reach by showing ads (“ad breaks”) that become unskippable for a few seconds. A study conducted by Boston University has concluded that the Protected Audiences API (building on the formerly called FLEDGE protocol, a part of Chrome's Privacy Sandbox), can produce similar results to those of third party cookies in the context of retargeting campaigns.  On November 5th, David Raab, who back in the day had coined the label CDP (Customer Data Platform), published a provocative piece titled “The Composable CDP is Dead”. In summary the author argues that all CDPs have already caught up with the modularization that came from sitting on top of more flexible data warehouses, so every single CDP has either become a niche modular component or an all-encompassing, highly-modularized software suite. In sum, the term will not help a Hightouch differentiate itself uniquely any longer. We suggest that you listen to our interviews with Tejas Manohar and Jonathan Mendez, CEOs of Hightouch and Neuralift AI respectively, for further context.  AI, Competition and Digital Markets The community is still recovering from Hamburg's DPA's opinion (adopted on July 15th) stating that LLMs do not contain personal data. The supervisory authority made three key points that we will be covering with some future guests: a) No personal data is stored in LLMs; b) Data subject rights as defined in the GDPR cannot relate to the model itself, but they can be exercised against the provider or deployer of a system built on top of such models, with regards to the input or output of such system; c) The training of LLMs using personal data must comply with data protection regulations.  The Irish DPC announced an investigation into Google's foundational AI model (PaLM 2) on September 12th, with a focus on the DPIA that Google is expected to have undertaken.  An ICO report released on November 8th found that AI recruitment technologies can filter candidates according to protected characteristics including race, gender, and sexual orientation. On November 13th, Meta received an 800,000 EUR fine for anti-competitive practices in the bundling of its Marketplace feature with the primary Facebook application. So, they have leveraged their control over one market to take control of another, adjacent market, in this case threatening pretty large companies in the classified ads space. That's it for today! Thanks again for listening.  

On today's episode, Dot discusses:  The CMA's latest report into Privacy Sandbox; MediaSense's purchase of R3; and Azerion's acquistion of Goldbach.

Next in Media spoke with Ronan Shields, who covers ad tech for Digiday, about how the DOJ's case against Google is going in the ongoing ad tech trial, and whether he thinks this case will really reshape the digital ad market anytime soon. Ronan also discussed why some publishers are worried about a potential Google loss, and what Meta and Amazon might be thinking.Sponsored By MolocoTakeaways:• Google's Antitrust Case: The current trial is focused on Google's ad tech business, specifically regarding accusations of monopolistic practices. • DOJ's Strong Case: The Department of Justice (DOJ) seems to be in a favorable position due to damaging internal communications from Google executives. • Damning Evidence: Internal Google emails suggest the company used its dominant position to force publishers into using its ad tech stack, thus limiting competition and harming alternatives in the market.• Impact on Publishers: Many publishers are rooting for Google's loss, but some are concerned about the immediate impact on their monetization strategies if Google is forced to divest its ad tech stack.• Google's Defense: Google argues that competition exists from companies like Microsoft, Amazon, and others. Their defense suggests they are simply better at what they do, not monopolistic.• Future Ramifications for Other Tech Giants: If Google loses, it could set a precedent for future antitrust actions against other big tech players like Meta (Facebook) and Amazon, who are also in the crosshairs of regulators.Guest: Ronan ShieldsHost: Mike ShieldsSponsor: MolocoProducer: FEL Creative

Earlier this summer, Google announced that its Chrome browser would after all keep third party cookies. This interview with Robin de Wouters is the first of two episodes exploring the consequences of that update from the point of view of our usual stakeholders (DPOs, CMOs, CDOs).  Robin de Wouters is the Director General for the Federation of European Data & Marketing (FEDMA), in Brussels. He has a strong background in communication and public relations across the private, non-profit and institutional spheres. He previously worked in the field of human rights with Euromed Rights, the ONE Campaign and the United Nations. Robin is also the Vice-Chair of the Board of the European Interactive Digital Advertising Alliance (EDAA) and the Communications Director and Spokesperson for Democrats Abroad Belgium, the international arm of the US Democratic Party. References: Federation of European Data and Marketing (FEDMA) Robin de Wouters on LinkedIn Sergio Maldonado, Nobody was ready for the Privacy Sandbox, but deprecating cookie banners is long overdue Google announces they are not deprecating third-party cookies Peter Cradock (Masters of Privacy): Could core advertising components fall under the “strictly necessary” ePrivacy exemption?  CNIL publishes study on alternatives to third-party advertising cookies (Freevacy)  

Ok, the summer is nearly over, which means it is time for a Newsroom summarizing everything that's happened in the last two months at the intersection of marketing, data, privacy and technology.  California and the FTC have more specific weight on our list this time around - perhaps because much of Europe, including regulators and hackers, was OOO during the entire month of August. So, expect to hear about: A CDP (Segment) being sued for its data collection practices Uber's Catch-22 The FTC discards hashing as a means of anonymization  Chrome could be forced to support Global Privacy Control The AI Bill drama in California. (And yes, also about Google's monopoly, the resilience of 3rd party cookies and Apple's DMA struggles, but only in passing, as you've probably had enough of those.) Expect us to follow the usual structure: ePrivacy & Regulatory Updates; MarTech & AdTech; AI, Competition and Digital Markets; Zero-Party Data and Customer Centricity; Future of Media.  With Celine Takatsuno and Sergio Maldonado. References: Sergio Maldonado, Nobody was ready for the Privacy Sandbox, but deprecating cookie banners is long overdue (ie., third party cookies are not going away) Class action was filed against Twilio in California Uber received a $290m euro fine in The Netherlands The Federal Trade Commission audited hundreds of websites and apps, finding all sorts of dark patterns Controversial California AI Bill California passes another law that, if signed, will require browsers to implement Global Privacy Control standards FTC: Hashing email addresses does not result in anonymized data  Netflix announces data collaboration partnerships Apple tries a little harder to appease the EU Commission with additional Digital Markets Act measures Also, find a full blog post on the Masters of Privacy website.

Next in Media spoke to Jason Kint, CEO of the publisher-focused trade group Digital Content Next, about the potential impact of Google's recent anti trust ruling, and what to expect next month when a more advertising-focused decision regarding Google comes to a head.Takeaways• Google's Monopoly and Antitrust Cases: Google has been found to be a monopoly in both the App Store and search markets. • Impact on Media and Advertising: These antitrust cases are seen as unlocking competition, which is beneficial for media companies and small businesses. • Importance of Data Scale: Google's dominance in search, with 98% of unique queries, provides it an unparalleled data scale. • Microsoft's Struggles: Despite being a tech giant, Microsoft struggles to compete with Google in the search market due to the latter's vast data advantage.• Potential Breakup of Google: There is speculation that the ad tech trial could lead to Google being forced to divest parts of its business, possibly Chrome and Android, due to their critical roles in data collection.• Google's Internal Practices: The trial revealed nefarious internal practices, such as coordination between different Google departments to meet quarterly targets, despite public claims of separation.• Google's Defense and Market Impact: Google argues that its dominance in search is pro-competitive and beneficial for consumers due to its superior search experience. • Implications for Publishers: The outcome of these cases could validate the concerns of publishers who have long complained about Google's market power. • Future of Competition: Kint emphasizes that real change will come when there is actual competition in the market, with revenue directed towards where consumers want it. Guest: Jason KintHost: Mike ShieldsSponsored by: AcastProduced by: FEL Creative

Next in Media spoke with IAB Tech Lab CEO Anthony Katsur about the organization's infamous report on Google's Privacy Sandbox -and where the industry goes from here now that cookies may never go away. Katsur also talked about the state of industry regulation, and whether Trump or Harris would ever push for a national privacy law. Takeaways• The IAB Tech Lab has been monitoring Google's Privacy Sandbox and raising concerns about its functionality and impact on the advertising ecosystem.• Data minimization is an important concept in privacy regulation, emphasizing the need to only collect and retain necessary data for a limited period of time.• The industry is facing challenges such as signal loss, privacy compliance, and competition from social media and AI platforms.• The outcome of the US election may have an impact on privacy regulation, but state laws and global privacy frameworks will continue to shape the industry.• Google remains committed to innovating on the Privacy Sandbox and working with regulators and the industry to address privacy concerns. Guest: Anthony KatsurHost: Mike ShieldsSponsored by: AcastProduced by: Fresh Take

The episode begins with a discussion on a vulnerability in Microsoft's Windows Hello for Business authentication model, which has been found to be susceptible to downgrade attacks. Microsoft has released a fix for this issue to enhance security measures. Additionally, the episode highlights AT&T's decision to pay a ransom to prevent the exposure of stolen call records, shedding light on the prevalent trend of companies paying ransoms after cyber attacks.The episode also delves into Switzerland's groundbreaking law, mandating the use of open-source software in the public sector to promote transparency and security. Furthermore, the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has published a playbook for resilience planning in critical infrastructure, emphasizing the importance of enhancing security measures and minimizing the impact of cyber attacks. The episode also discusses leadership changes at CISA, with Brandon Wales stepping down as the executive director and Bridget Bean set to take over in August.In the realm of technology, Google's reversal of its plan to drop support for third-party cookies in Chrome is highlighted, with the introduction of the Privacy Sandbox as an alternative. The episode also explores advancements in AI technology, such as OpenAI's Instruction Hierarchy technique to prevent AI models from being misled and Meta's release of LLAMA 3.1, an open-source AI model with significant parameters. The discussion touches on the growing adoption of generative AI in businesses and the importance of addressing bias and fairness in AI models.Concluding the episode, Dave Sobel emphasizes the significance of strategic decision-making in cybersecurity, advising against paying ransoms and advocating for unique approaches like Switzerland's open-source mandate.

Shoot us a Text.We've made it to the middle of the week! Today we're talking about GM's record pickup and SUV sales in Q2, Tesla's tough Q2 and how Google is not getting rid of cookies after all.Show Notes with linksGeneral Motors has raised its 2024 earnings forecast following a strong second quarter, driven by record North American sales of pickups and SUVs.CEO Mary Barra emphasized in a letter to shareholders that responsible growth and efficient capital use amid shifting market conditions. "As excited as we are about our portfolio, we are committed to growing responsibly and profitably in any demand environment," Barra said. "Over the next few years, third-party forecasters now see the EV market growing steadily, but more slowly than it did over the last few years. As a result, we are adjusting our spending plans to make sure we're capital-efficient and moving in lockstep with customers."Q2 net income rose 14% to $2.9 billion, with global revenue hitting $47.97 billion.North American profit surged 39%, setting a new record at $4.4 billion.GM adjusted its full-year EBIT guidance to $13-$15 billion, despite lowering net income forecast slightly.The company reported increased EV sales but scaled back production targets due to lower-than-expected demand.Despite slightly better-than-expected revenue, Tesla's Q2 earnings report highlighted declining profits and raised investor concerns, particularly during a tense earnings call with CEO Elon Musk.In Q2, Tesla's net income dropped 45% to $1.5 billion, down from $2.7 billion the previous year, while revenue rose to $25.5 billion, exceeding analyst estimates of $24.8 billion. The company also experienced a 4.8% decline in global deliveries to 443,956 vehicles, following an 8.5% decline in the first quarter.Musk had a elevated Q&A session as he was asked a variety of questions, most of which received short, blunt answersWhen asked about diverting GPUs from Tesla to xAi, Musk by stating that the news was based on an "old article." as he assured that the diversion of GPUs to xAI was "in Tesla's interest," not detrimental to the companyGoogle no longer intends to remove third-party cookies from Chrome, a major shift from its 2020 announcement. The company will retain third-party cookies, focusing on enhancing user choice instead. Cookies are an important part of the $180 billion ad-tech industry, allowing advertisers to track users and target ads effectively.The original cookie deprecation date was in 2022, and has been pushed several times by Google since then.Google's alternative, Privacy Sandbox, aimed to preserve ad mechanisms while protecting privacy but had a rocky rollout.Early reports indicated significant revenue losses (up to 60%) for publishers without cookies, though Google claims its tests showed a 20% drop for Ad Manager publishers.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

CrowdStrike explains what it did wrong. TLDR: everything. Windows Windows 11 version 23H2 is fully available! Wait, what? Surface Laptop 7 review: big, heavy, no presence sensing or fingerprint reader. Right, I love it. Also, the ThinkPad T14s arrived. Related: Intel cops to mistake in Core Gen 13/14 processors, will issue fix. Why this is unprecedented. And also precedented. Also, why precedented is a word. Microsoft is FINALLY bringing ads to the Microsoft Store search box. Microsoft starts testing new Start menu layouts. Surely one of them has live tites. Canary build today: Duplicate File Explorer tab, not much else. AI/Antitrust Meta is making a surprising—and surprisingly strong—case for AI as open-source. Proton adds an AI writing assistant to its Drive-based Docs. Amazon lost an alleged $25 billion on Alexa devices over four years, so itʼs all in on AI-based devices now! (Panos Panay is the perfect fit for this business if the goal is to be unprofitable). Google effectively kills Privacy Sandbox in a victory for regulation. Microsoft probably cleared the final hurdle to avoid EU antitrust action on cloud licensing. Hey, it worked with security companies and the Windows kernel! It's That Time of the Quarter Again Alphabet / Google: Double-digit revune gains YOY, but how much of this is AI? Subscription services (Netflix, Spotify, not so much Game Pass) are KILLING it,but theyʼre also in full-on enshirtification mode - how do we fix this? Can we fix this. Xbox FTC complains about Xbox Game changes. They're not wrong. But they're not right either. Call of Duty Modern Warfare III lands on Game Pass today - what the what Also, Microsoft muffed the landing badly - but it appears to be working now Halo TV series canceled. It's the worst thing that's happened with Xbox this entire year Tips and Picks Tip of the week: The best thing about Copilot in Windows 11 now With Copilot switching from a pane to an app, thereʼs an unintended benefit that comes into play when you use an AI PC with a Copilot key on it. Youʼre never going to believe what happens next. App pick of the week: Microsoft Designer for image generation Microsoft Designer exited preview last week and thereʼs at least one secret benefit to using it: Unlike Copilot, you can create wide and portrait images (and not just square) without paying. This is why I pay for Copilot Pro. (You do need to sign in with an MSA, however.)

So our advertisers will still be able to track with their MMP partners. They just won't know which users are in app A, B, C – but they'll still know what users are doing in app A – and what they're doing in app B and C. They just won't be able to connect them together.” Mentioned in this Episode:Singular's Growth Masterminds PodcastLucky Harply's LinkedInOmri Gal's LinkedIn
