As more countries pass privacy laws and the US continues to stumble over a patchwork of random state-based legislation there's a real risk not just of a fractured internet, but of a fractured internet in which the US becomes a sort of internet trash dump...Permalink On twitter.com

The thing about marketers & fraudsters buying against user targeting is that they move to whatever place and platform it is most available and then the rest of the budget sort of moves to as close as they can get and then less close and less close, etc...Permalink On twitter.com

We've seen this with Safari, where the worse offenses that were spread out across many browsers, end up focused in on Chrome users. In a ways this increasing focus on breaching a smaller populations' safety likely is one of the incentives for Chrome's move towards privacy...Permalink On twitter.com

As nationalities move towards different definitions of privacy and methods of enforcement, the incentives to track users and commit invasive fraud won't just go away, they'll just narrow into an ever increasing focus on the places with the most money & tech + least privacy...Permalink On twitter.com

And whatever that place is that combines a lot of money and up-to-date tech with very little consistent privacy... that's going to get targeted with more fraud, more invasive ad scripts, more terrible ID syncs, and the pressure to do that will create real impacts...Permalink On twitter.com

5G won't save us if the entire global ad fraud infrastructure becomes focused on America, it will make the internet increasingly loaded down with bad ads, bad ad scripts, various hacked together technical countermeasures, & other weighty technologies, the internet will *slow*...Permalink On twitter.com

And the internet will become less safe! We'll be less willing to go to websites we don't already know or trust (even if the ones we trust are filled with disinfo). We'll be afraid to try new technologies that are instantly loaded down with fraud and invasive tech...Permalink On twitter.com

If the US can't get its shit together on real federal privacy regulation & everyone else does, we'll be essentially offering up major parts of what makes ourselves competitive as a country--what makes us effective in a global marketplace--in exchange for detailed ad targeting...Permalink On twitter.com

I'm not a capitalist, but as I understand it this seems real bad for our capacity to sustain our *increasingly digitally-based* economy. Essentially we're in a privacy regulation race, and the cost of losing at that race is extremely consequential...Permalink On twitter.com

Think! If other countries' companies are legally required to create safer, faster, healthier tech, and ours' aren't... why would anyone continue using American software? Who would willingly buy software knowing it's riddled with ad-spyware if there's an alternative?...Permalink On twitter.com

Who would *use* the internet in America when it ends up getting flooded with the lowest denominator of ad tech, data collection, and heavy invasive uncontrolled rev-optimization stacks... if there's an alternative?...Permalink On twitter.com

I think even if you are the type to cry that ad tech isn't actually doing anything invasive or bad, or that privacy needs are overstated, or that privacy absolutists are controlling the conversation, you can see that the world is changing, step back, and realize larger issues?...On twitter.com

Anyway, I'm not a capitalist, but I figure if *you* are then you might see the flow of cash into ad tech & think it a good thing, but the market isn't just America, we live in a global economy & maybe being competitive in the marketplace requires we match the regulation race?...Permalink On twitter.com

This isn't the argument for me, I don't really care about capitalism or the US's National Power, but: if you don't give a shit about people's privacy, or surveillance power in corporate or government hands, well now here's an argument that maybe you can get behind instead.Permalink On twitter.com

Personally, I believe that privacy is a human right and that should be reason enough to create vast reform, but if you need more reasons, I'm here for ya buddy. Also... I guess I live in the US and would prefer not to be forced to move because my computer can't load the internet.Permalink On twitter.com
