I'm all for privacy. But publishers should be allowed their business model to. I'd be fine paying for a product instead of being the product
-
Not if that business model erodes human rights (as the adtech model does).
-
Journalism co.s w/ 2 options for customers: be the product ( adtech) or pay for product, are now extortion? No way. Journalism has value.
-
This misses the point, it's the tracking, gathering of personal info, lack of transparency, not to mention security issues from online ads.
-
Journalism is one of the most vital institutions we have, but invasive ads and expecting users to pay for every news source are not the way.
-
I totally agree, why would we have to pay for the news/product, everything should be free! Let's nationalize all companies in EU!

Dear
@1000startupsEU, why don’t you fuck off back to whatever Silicon Valley or Singularity University hole you crawled out of?https://twitter.com/1000startupsEU/status/872264478171299840 … -
(And take your false dichotomies and your surveillance capitalism with you. We don’t want it or you in Europe.) https://ar.al/notes/diem25-internet-of-people-launch-in-berlin/ …https://twitter.com/aral/status/872386140279627777 …

To me a simple add is not the problem. The tracking that comes with it is the problem. we are being tracked all over the internet by google.
-
Exactly. This isn’t about advertising, it’s about adtech (tracking).
-
discusion should be focused on tracking. If the tracking is out of the advert its fine by me. I just scroll past the advert.

Agree.
-
How could tracking be prevented? If browsers block third-party cookies/scripts/pixels, tracking industry will move to sharing server logs?
-
We can/will/do prevent via tech and via legislation. Also, by funding/creating non-surveillance-based alternatives. https://ar.al/notes/towards-an-internet-of-people-with-diem25/ …

Any decent adblocker would block Google adblocker

-
The issue is not blocking ads, but blocking tracking.

Sure, but how do you block Ip, device fingerprinting, payments, signing, delivery etc? You are talking about the easy part. Enabling is hard
