It’s not at all simple for ad supported publishers who are the most prominent
users of the blocking.
It maybe a case where this is the intended consequence of the law but it wasn’t sold that way ahead of time.
European publications are being even more impacted by this as they can’t resort to blocking. It will be very interesting how this impacts the publishers in the next few years.
- JAlexoid 8y agoHere's the kicker - most European online publications were already in compliance. GPDR is only slightly more stringent, than most EU privacy laws on file. The biggest complaints come from foreigners, if you haven't noticed.
- kasey_junk 8y agoNo one knows if they are in compliance or not yet. For instance https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/fresh-gdpr-complaints-take-aim-at-targeted-advertising-a-11487 https://www.bankinfosecurity.com/fresh-gdpr-complaints-take-... outlines a complaint that all of real time bidding that is compliant with the IAB compliance framework is not compliant with GDPR. Major publications, for instance Der Spiegel, which are trying to be compliant by following that standard (and they had to do major work to do so) may find they are out of compliance http://www.spiegel.de/extra/what-we-do-with-your-data-a-1211940.html http://www.spiegel.de/extra/what-we-do-with-your-data-a-1211... Similar complaints have been brought against publishers that used googles compliance framework.
