WATCH | Decoding AdTech: Navigating the crossroads of privacy, policy, and AI in commercial surveillance
The business advertising model based on mass surveillance and massive accumulation of personal data is under pressure. After years of civil society calling for a ban, and policymakers stopping short of taking decisive action, the industry seems to be hitting crunch point: Meta is under scrutiny in the EU where its practices are deemed illegal; the case against Grindr is moving through the court system, and so it the case against IAB Europe’s ‘best practice’ framework;and Google announced phasing out of third party cookies.
In the last years, an increasing body of evidence has emerged highlighting the detrimental effects of surveillance-based advertising on consumers, citizens, & democracy as a whole. Do we continue with the rounds of complaints and litigation, or is it time to take decisive action?
