The latest Privacy Preserving Attribution proposal has been picked up by PATCG w/the intent it is on its way to the WG when available. This means post-cookie private attribution is on the track to become a Standard. Amazing work by all the participants. github.com/patcg/admin/issue…

I am against exploiting #GDPR to go after privacy engineering. We must say: no. This is not just wrong. It is harmful. If we can't improve user privacy then why bother with the whole theatre?
I am a privacy researcher and I worked actively on privacy-preserving approaches, including in AdTech. It's understandable that there was somewhat a disconnect between technology folks and the legal folks, but I would assume that there was a catch-up in recent years... :-)

Update: the paper which Apple references to argue that Topics API is a significant privacy risk has critical and fundamental problems. Random-number generator is badly seeded, which may mean that the results are flawed. github.com/yohhaan/topics_ap…
Replying to @lukOlejnik
Apple is also criticising a (the least exciting, though) part of Google's Privacy Sandbox, the Topics API. Apple is directing a big punch at (and huge criticism of) Google's Topics API. This part sounds as an opinion piece (publicistic entry): "imagine what advanced machine learning and artificial intelligence can deduce about you based on various combinations of interest signals. What patterns will emerge when data brokers and trackers can compare and contrast across large portions of the population?"

Great work by @GoogleResearch's Operations Research team on shipping logistics. "It is able to double the profit of a container shipper, deliver 13% more containers, and do so with 15% fewer vessels." The Shipping Network Design API for making your shipping ship shape: shipped!

🌶🌶🌶 Spicy take alert! 🌶🌶🌶 No one will tell you this, definitely not someone at Google, but my gut is that the odds of a delay of some kind of a 3rd party cookie deprecation are getting pretty high. 1/

Okay @NYTGames did you change the rules? Or is it like "oh yeah words in Strands have been allowed to cross themselves all along and it just coincidentally never happened until today"??!?

🎧 @eric_seufert & @pbannist giving me more insight into how the ecosystem sees Privacy Sandbox and 3P cookies. Solid mix of low-level API detail & industry motivation. Minor disappointment no-one's calling any of these segments "Spill the TEE" yet. mobiledevmemo.com/podcast-co…
