The EU isn’t going to ban online advertising, so the question isn’t that interesting. It sounds more like a slippery slope argument.
What the EU privacy push has created is an incentive for ad networks to improve. What we are already seeing are strategies that preserve both privacy as well as a revenue stream using, for examples, cohorts or that strategy (whose name I seem to have forgotten) of adding some randomness to raw data that cancels out at the learning stage.
These aren’t perfect, but it is an improvement.
- endisneigh 4y agoI’m not sure you understand what a slippery slope argument is. Inherently there’s a trade off between personalization and effectiveness of advertising.
- KarlKemp 4y agoInherently there’s a trade-off between speed and safety of a car. Doesn’t mean you can’t improve safety for a given speed, given the right incentives.
- endisneigh 4y agoThe analogy doesn’t make any sense. Privacy is not inherently “safe” to begin with.
