According to the Internet, that's:
* 2 premium condoms
* Multi-speed mini vibe
* Lubricant
* Cleansing wipe
* Free gift in store
So I wasn't that far off 😁

It's a relief, but this has now happened too many times and it gets closer every time. Also, it's still a conservative president. So the relief is there, but the worry remains.

Just the code — no model, no data? Is there any reason to believe that would be anything other than useless? I assume that most of it is ML one way or another.
And open sourcing the data or model would be very high risk.

I'm not saying that there aren't marketers who want to keep their campaign tactics secret from that kind of review, but if they exist I've never met them. It's always been G&FB making the case for "advertiser privacy" which publishers mostly see as a running joke.

It's probably just a coincidence that every effort made to protect advertiser privacy happens to also make auditing the system or optimising it outside of the platform harder.

I'm not sure that he can in the US? But he doesn't need to. Buy Twitter, make all the Republicans happy by letting them run toxic, reap the rewards when they steal 2024 and set up permanent rule with sham democracy. It's a power move, he doesn't need the presidency.

I don't believe that exists. For withdrawals and DSRs, there should be an obligation for additional controllers to provider identifiers to the first-party/subject-facing controller. Otherwise, these mostly can't be executed. It gives third-party controllers an edge (again).

Absolutely agreed — and frankly it's a headache to execute them well. It's one of many reasons I think multicontrollership is a mistake. It's bad for people and bad for business.

No, but I mean it. In almost every single case that I've seen involving more than one controller, it wasn't justified. Companies do it because they want to be reusing the data in ways that they shouldn't. Baseline forbid it, then enable a few rare exemptions.

At the end of the day, my view is that all forms of multicontrollership make that mess visible to the data subject, and that's a bug. I know that companies set themselves up in crazy complicated ways whenever they're allowed to. But for the subject, there should be only one.

I'm keenly aware. Who pays the price for that complexity is what regulations decide. I don't think that it's an unrealistic expectation to tell companies: "You want to do complex data processing? Great, just get your shit together so it doesn't impact subjects."

That is *exactly* how Google set up consent to advertising purposes. G is controller but the publisher has full responsibility to obtain valid consent (with liability for any of G's infringements in case consent is invalid) and G does not offer an exhaustive list of what they do.
