fun fact: at least one of the ex-revenue heads at g/o left the company for a similar role at forbes. from what she told me at the time, they'd recruited her *explicitly* to fix the broken ad and revenue systems span left when he was there

written after Apple's new App Store ad format placed gambling ads next to gambling addiction apps — as the antecedent rebuttal to the NYT's piece this weekend that questions why, a...

i remember *three goddamn years ago* how i felt like an utter lunatic writing explainers on things like “header bidding” and “ad servers” for a lay audience because—let's be honest—why would they care about any of that? i guess this is why. ngl i got a bit misty watching this https://twitter.com/...

The Wire retracts two recent stories about Meta's XCheck program and says it is using “independent external experts” to investigate its coverage

i really, really hope some of this stuff sees the public, because it might be the only way for us to figure out what the hell happened here. i can only trust an internal review so much at this point https://twitter.com/...

@OverKAnalytics ... yeah, without more transparency from the wire we really can't make any judgements one way or the other. the simpler explanation is that this is all innocuous/accidental, so I'm holding by that until proven otherwise

my last major scoop for gizmodo is out 🥲🥲🥲 @KyleBarr5 and i found dozens of brokers selling data from people who were presumed to be pregnant—so we went down the rabbit hole sussing out where this data was coming from turns out period trackers aren't the (only) culprit! https://twitter.com/...

i mean, apps in general aren't the only culprit—they never were. web activity and retail transactions were much more popular targets among the brokers we found (but there's still some...... p significant gaps! this kind of research is *hard*)
