Working in ad-tech I know these problems are ubiquitous but apart from trying to patch these issues when we notice them in whatever in significant ways we can what else can you do?
- numpad0 7y agoSpinning it in a way that doing it becomes a threat to business continuity? If they’re deducted $0.15 from income, paid to you, on spot each time they query that information, or if it adds 0.015% to probability of their stock crashing in that quarter quantifiably, then I’d expect it’ll be gone forever before any of their C-class stands up for some coffee next time. The reality is roughly reverse of that.
- dangero 7y agoInteresting point. Can you imagine how the attitude around facebook would change instantly if they started profit sharing with their users?
- mokus 7y agoPaying facebook’s users for facebook’s spy network isn’t quite the right [dis]incentive though. I don’t use Facebook but they still pay others to spy on me. Those others should have to pay me for the spying they do on me.
- numpad0 7y agoRevenue sharing is not my point. Some platforms do and makes no difference. What I am describing is a destructive change to revenue streams for ad companies. That is as nonsense as reversing direction of couple major rivers and I know obvious open question will be how in the world.
- JohnFen 7y agoHow about stop spying on people, and only collect data from those who have given informed consent?
