Comment on To Save the News, We Must Shatter Ad-Tech

Comments

- This is well written.

- I agree with almost every line, which is no surprise because I cannot recall ever disagreeing with the EFF

- ...Except for this line: "That’s good for everyone. Giving publishers their fair share of ad revenue means they won’t have to plaster their websites with content-obscuring ads. Reducing costs for advertisers means that goods can be sold more cheaply." It's not good for Meta and Google, and not good for whoever they are going to lobby. They have spoken up about wanting "regulation" so that they can follow ground rules without compromising competitiveness, but I don't really buy that.
