Data Privacy Roundup

In a world where people casually toss around the term “surveillance advertising” and Congress is pushing for a national privacy law, has the clock run out on self-regulation?

So, I tried using AdChoices to opt out of seeing an ad. But the experience didn’t go very well, to say the least.

I’ve heard people say that there’s a Simpsons reference for every occasion. I posit that the same could be said of “South Park.” There’s an episode from 2011 that perfectly encapsulates the debate about notice and choice.

We’re living in a new reality, and the ad industry has to accept some home truths about itself if it wants to evolve.

It’s a resolution of mine to start using the word “people” more often than the word “consumer.” People are more than just what they consume.
