Except you can add a tracking pixel to the destination website after people click through on the ad, which correlates to people’s individual profile. To say that isn’t “handing out personal information to others” is sophistry of the highest order.

Facebook doesn’t hand out your personal information to others

Huh? How do you think ad targeting works?

That tweet has such a clinical PR tone to it that is not helping put me at ease and im probably going to be moving my vault

Calling open source a “licensing model” in particular sounds like MBA-speak.

I generally agree, but .io stands for “indian ocean”, which isn’t a country.

Counterpoint: .su still exists

I was wondering the same. It’s a very popular TLD, so you’d think they would grandfather it in as a generic (non-country) TLD like .net or whatever.

Sorry, i dont want to be rude, but do you actually have any arguments other than gesturing at the article & giving both-sides-isms?

Since this thread is about the article, no, I don’t.

I’m certainly not going to defend anything Israel is doing here. Both sides in this debacle are bloodthirsty maniacs.

It’s not only in the article, but in the excerpt posted by OP.

What is this even in reference to?

Seriously? Did you just see the word “Israel” and start arguing without knowing the topic at hand?

Did they use it as a targeting reticle in 1938?

I don’t agree with this, but I do find it idiotic and tone-deaf for pro-Palestinians to co-opt Hamas imagery and a symbol of violence as a show of support. It suggests they either explicitly support Hamas, or are too stupid to understand what they are displaying.

V3 isn’t necessarily more effective than V2, it’s just less obtrusive.

Consistent duration can be assumed, because that’s how advertising works. The 15-second spot is still the standard.

Sure, in a reality where that happens, but that isn’t ours. Ads are overwhelmingly made to match the standard 0:15 and 0:30.

I mean placement within the video timeline. E.g. do all users see the ad at 0:00 or 2:00 or does it jump around for everyone to prevent it from being tagged.

This breaks the current SB implementation, but if the ad duration is known and consistent across the userbase then it will fix itself as users tag videos with the “new” timestamps.

Crowdsourced “tagging” of the affected area of the video timeline (like Sponsorblock) would fix this, unless Google get really devious and randomize the placement of the ad for various users.
