Taboola and Outbrain are everywhere. They pretend to be:
"Taboola and outbrain are clearly filling a need in the market. There is a gap between what publishers can monetize through their existing direct and remnant channels, which outbrain and taboola help fill. They also provide the sites with deeper engagement by cross linking related content that people are likely to read."
That was funny..
With that in mind it is very interesting to note that these are both linked with Israeli intelligence and do more than just provide third party advertising. To me it is a good idea to block them off.
- Shekelberg 7y ago> With that in mind it is very interesting to note that these are both linked with Israeli intelligence That sure is interesting. In fact, all three of the clickbait companies (Taboola, Outbrain, and Wazimo) mentioned in the article are founded and run by Israelis. What are the odds of that? It's quite a coincidence just how often companies involved in scams and unethical behavior just happen to be run by an ethnic group that makes up 0.2% of the world population.
- huac 7y agoI saw that they are Israeli companies, but what ties do they have to Israeli intelligence (beyond, I suppose, that their Israeli employees had previously done mandatory military service)?
- amitport 7y agoThey are not "both linked with Israeli intelligence". Do note though that Google, Facebook, apple, did disclose that they work in collaboration with the US intelligence.
