 @jonny There's no such thing as an uncompromised browser. And PPA actually will allow advertisers to get specific click through information -without- tracking users, which they are currently doing, with or without the browser's help. In other words suggesting this is 'giving in to adtech' is incorrect. This is offering advertisers a capability to get some meaningful data without having to track users. 3 comments
@RenewedRebecca @jonny I don't agree with that thought, and very much understand that advertisers want to know whether there is people clicking an ad. I also understand websites want advertisers to pay them extra for people clicking ads on their site.  @Schouten_B @RenewedRebecca @jonny There are ads in magazines, on TV and on billboards, even though nobody knows how many people look at them. The idea that advertising is only possible with click tracking and view tracking is simply wrong, and is what led to the current surveillance hellscape. |

@Schouten_B @jonny Or here’s another thought… Fuck Advertisers. They don’t need any data beyond “we spent $x and our sales went up by y%.”
