Third-party cookie are staying in Chrome, I cannot f*cking believe it. Google has been misleading everyone for years, making regulators, policymakers and an entire industry think they will soon go away. Year-long deception at its finest, I take off my hat.

1/ ‘The Register has learned from those involved in the browser trade that Apple has limited the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located in the EU’ theregister.com/2024/05/17/a… I haven’t personally heard of this but also consider that

I think that _any_ kind of private message content analysis needs to always be under the user's control, highly visible and changeable by users, and strictly opt-in–with maximal confidentiality.
On device LLMs _sound_ like they would protect privacy but only when designed so

Four truths I learned working in online ads:
1. Most metrics are garbage, and fraud is vast
2. Big tech firms will always claim uncertainty about their legal obligations
3. Publishers will find ways to lose money in digital
4. Enforcers will find ways to not do their jobs

On 23 April, @Network_Centers host the third online learning call. Moderated by @Ginundzurueck, @a_a_tamo & @FascinatingTech will discuss how data access requests under the #DSA help researchers study platforms & address practical challenges.

Is Chrome a neutral user-agent or does it systematically reinforce Google's dominance in online advertising and publishing?
We analyze Chrome's critical role in Google's system and its antitrust implications in this upcoming article @VandyJETLaw
🚨One of my fav papers got accepted
@googlechrome is the most used browser and gateway to the web—but how does it make money? Is it neutral? Studying 100s of technical+legal docs, we argue that Google uses it systematically to reinforce its market #power.
