Jan Penfrat<p>Strong point by <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Schibsted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schibsted</span></a>: we tried to move away from <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Google" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Google</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Ads" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ads</span></a> when <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> came into force but lost so much money we had to go back. 🫣</p><p>And that's where the event ends. Lots to think about, not very convinced about what <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> is doing.</p>
Jan Penfrat<p>What a weird world in which the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/publisher" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publisher</span></a> champions <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> because <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a> and <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> says it's harmful 🤯</p><p><a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Schibsted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schibsted</span></a> also celebrates the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/DigitalMarketsAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalMarketsAct</span></a> for reining in <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Meta" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Meta</span></a>'s <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/gatekeeper" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>gatekeeper</span></a> power.</p><p>Other interesting point: they'd like <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/cookies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cookies</span></a> under the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> instead of <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/ePrivacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ePrivacy</span></a> combined with a timid acknowledgement that publishers are forced to participate in a system (of <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/programmatic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>programmatic</span></a> <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a>) they cannot control.</p>
Jan Penfrat<p>Wow so the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Mozilla" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mozilla</span></a> engineer disagrees and claims "<a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> has done a great deal of harm" (I didn't understand his argument why) but now diverted to saying the <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/browser" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>browser</span></a> should be the platform collect all the personal data and then provide it in aggregated form to advertisers.</p><p>This would "give control to people while also unlocking the data". 🥱</p><p>And all in a sudden, <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/SurveillanceAdvertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceAdvertising</span></a> is not a <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/humanrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>humanrights</span></a> issue any more but merely a question of "governance".</p>
Jan Penfrat<p><a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/Schibsted" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Schibsted</span></a>'s Petra Wikström claims her firm "really really cares about <a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>privacy</span></a>" and says "<a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/GDPR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GDPR</span></a> should not be reopened," works well as it is. 🫶</p><p>But she also emphasises "<a href="https://eupolicy.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> is never for free" and needs various sources of funding. For that, Schibsted uses 1st party data for segments, not individual targeting. Never shares with 3rd parties.</p><p>"Problem with GDPR is that it isn't enforced enough."</p>
