Why not both? This blog post (https://ubuntu.com/blog/ubuntu-20-04-eol-for-devicesional) reminded Leo he needed to make a decision. 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.

En este episodio de Mundo Data Driven, tenemos como invitado a Rodrigo Reyes, un emprendedor serial y consultor experto en datos, con su empresa 1st Consulting. Rodrigo nos acompaña para explorar la revolución del First-Party Data y Zero-Party Data en el marketing digital. Comparte su perspectiva sobre cómo las organizaciones pueden adaptarse al fin de las cookies de terceros y cómo aprovechar al máximo los datos obtenidos directamente de sus clientes. Rodrigo explica las diferencias clave entre First-Party Data y Zero-Party Data, destacando los beneficios de cada uno y cómo ambos permiten personalizar de manera única la experiencia del consumidor. También discutimos cómo la transparencia y la confianza del cliente juegan un papel crucial en la obtención de datos, y cómo las organizaciones pueden fomentar este nivel de confianza. Exploramos las estrategias para integrar datos en canales físicos y digitales, destacando casos de éxito como Glossier. Además, hablamos del Gobierno de Datos y su importancia para asegurar la calidad y el cumplimiento legal. Rodrigo destacó cómo el Gobierno de Datos permite generar insights estratégicos para una toma de decisiones más efectiva.

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.

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.

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.

CrowdStrike: Terrible name, terrible outage CrowdStrike, a company no one has ever heard of, ships an update that borks Windows PCs, servers, and clouds services at the heart of the worldʼs infrastructure. Naturally, everyone blamed Microsoft at first Microsoft says outage impacted under 1 percent of PCs. It was just the worst PCs imaginable Microsoft blames EU regulation for its inability to be like Apple That is not a good look. It's also deceptive. Microsoft issues repair tool (later updates). 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.

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

This week, we bring you an episode from Singular's Growth Masterminds Podcast about what targeting and retargeting will look like for mobile marketers on the Android Privacy Sandbox, featuring Luckey Harpley (Remerge's Principal Product Manager), Omri Gal (Singular's Head of Privacy), and host John Koetsier. Learn about the initial testing and campaigns that Remerge has run with Singular's new SDK for the Sandbox's Protected Audiences API – and find out what to expect when the rollout takes place.Questions answered in this episode:What is the Protected Audiences API?What's the function of the protected apps signal API?How is this related to the Topics API?How will targeting work with the Privacy Sandbox?How will retargeting work with Privacy Sandbox?Tell us about Singular's testing of the Privacy SandboxHow does retargeting work when user data stays on the device?How can app marketers prepare for this?Timestamp:1:25 What's new with the Privacy Sandbox?3:46 What is the Protected Audiences API?5:15 How does the Protected Apps Signal API work?6:30 Is it a better Topics API?10:56 What will targeting look like with the Privacy Sandbox?12:45 What will retargeting look like with the Privacy Sandbox?17:20 Testing Singular's SDK with the Privacy Sandbox23:00 How retargeting can work with on-device data24:20 How can mobile marketers prepare for the Privacy Sandbox?Quotes:(3:47-4:00) “The Protected Audiences API started off its life as an API focused on solving the retargeting problem, but it's become a lot more than that. I think remarketing will, in the end, be a small part of it.”(23:00-23:26) “It's not that all information lives on the device, but rather, all the information that can track a user across apps lives on the device. 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
