Introducing Arielle Garcia, our new Director of Intelligence

Hello folks, Happy Friday! We have some GREAT news this week so let=E2=80=
=99s get right to it: Adtech renegade Arielle Garcia has joined Check My Ad=
s! We=E2=80=99ll let her take it from here:



Hi! I'm Arielle, the new Director of Intelligence at Check My Ads.

I'm a former ad agency exec that was working to change things from the insi=
de. When I saw just how broken the system was, I publicly quit my job as Ch=
ief Privacy Officer via op-ed to shine a light on the industry's dodgy data=
practices and corruption, and how it hurts people, brands, society, and de=
mocracy.

In my new role, I'll be leading research, campaigns, and programs that adva=
nce our mission of bringing transparency and accountability to the digital =
ad industry, ending surveillance advertising, and reclaiming our rights to =
make informed choices for ourselves.

Arielle made her debut as part of Check My Ads at this week=E2=80=99s Wall =
Street Journal CMO Network summit, where she told attendees how they can st=
op paying for bad data to reach fake people on unsafe websites, and maybe s=
ave democracy in the process.=20

Like she told CMOs: "Look, we=E2=80=99re going to keep fighting for your ri=
ght to check your ads; and we=E2=80=99ll get there a lot faster if you spea=
k with your dollars and demand full transparency into what your ads are fun=
ding and where they=E2=80=99re running.=E2=80=9D =F0=9F=94=A5=F0=9F=94=A5=
=F0=9F=94=A5

SJ CMO Network Summit.



And speaking of Arielle, she and Sarah Kay Wiley, our Policy Director, brok=
e down some of the issues with the American Privacy Rights Act.=20

It=E2=80=99s a bipartisan bill aimed at establishing national data privacy =
and security standards, but right now it has too many exemptions and loopho=
les.=20

Bonus reading: Arielle=E2=80=99s Q&A with AdExchanger!



=20



Get your $%!@ together, tech platforms

At least 60 countries have national elections this year. There=E2=80=99s ev=
idence of continued democratic backsliding and rising authoritarianism acro=
ss the globe.

That=E2=80=99s why we=E2=80=99ve signed a letter, with more than 200 other =
civil society organizations and journalists, requesting platforms including=
Meta, Discord, Google, and Reddit step up their integrity efforts to prote=
ct democracy in 2024.

We=E2=80=99re asking them to, among other things:

=F0=9F=94=90 Invest in greater platform integrity

=F0=9F=91=AE Enforce rules against election lies and hate in political adve=
rtising

=F0=9F=A5=B8 Prohibit the use of deepfakes in political ads

=F0=9F=A4=B3Hold influencer, public figure, and political candidate account=
s to the same moderation and enforcement standards as everyone else

=F0=9F=93=8A Improve transparency and enable civil society oversight of enf=
orcement practices by regularly sharing virality and enforcement reports

You can read the full letter here.

=E2=88=B7 WHAT WE'RE READING

=F0=9F=9A=A8
"Made for Advertising" Websites Are the Marketing Industry=E2=80=99s Latest=
Messy Situation

WSJ took a look at online publishers who drain ad spend with rapidly refres=
hing ads, bot clicks, and clickbait headlines. And while the article positi=
ons MFA sites as a =E2=80=9Cmessy situation=E2=80=9D worth debating, Nandin=
i posted her much stronger opinion on LinkedIn.=20

=E2=98=A3=EF=B8=8F

Forbes=E2=80=99 seven-year MFA scheme shows how deep the rot runs in online=
advertising

Last week, The WSJ (a lot of WSJ today!) reported on how Forbes ran ads mea=
nt for Forbes.com on a spammy copycat site. Reacting to the story, Omar Oak=
es of The Media Leader writes, =E2=80=9CIf global publishers feel the need =
to spoof their own websites to sell garbage ad inventory, it means the stat=
e of online advertising is in even worse shape than many realize.=E2=80=9D

=F0=9F=91=8E

How X accounts are exploiting the Israel-Gaza conflict to grow and profit

A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate shows how accounts=
are using hate as a growth hack =E2=80=94 and X is profiting off it.

=20



=20



That=E2=80=99s all from us for this week. Expect some ~fun~ next week =E2=
=80=94 it seems a major ad exchange is funding a toxic disinformation site,=
even after other advertisers and exchanges dropped it =F0=9F=A4=94

Introducing Arielle Garcia, our new Director of Intelligence

Hello folks, Happy Friday! We have some GREAT news this week so let’s get right to it: Adtech renegade Arielle Garcia has joined Check My Ads! We’ll let her take it from here:



Hi! I'm Arielle, the new Director of Intelligence at Check My Ads.

I'm a former ad agency exec that was working to change things from the inside. When I saw just how broken the system was, I publicly quit my job as Chief Privacy Officer via op-ed to shine a light on the industry's dodgy data practices and corruption, and how it hurts people, brands, society, and democracy.

In my new role, I'll be leading research, campaigns, and programs that advance our mission of bringing transparency and accountability to the digital ad industry, ending surveillance advertising, and reclaiming our rights to make informed choices for ourselves.

Arielle made her debut as part of Check My Ads at this week’s Wall Street Journal CMO Network summit, where she told attendees how they can stop paying for bad data to reach fake people on unsafe websites, and maybe save democracy in the process.

Like she told CMOs: "Look, we’re going to keep fighting for your right to check your ads; and we’ll get there a lot faster if you speak with your dollars and demand full transparency into what your ads are funding and where they’re running.” 🔥🔥🔥

And speaking of Arielle, she and Sarah Kay Wiley, our Policy Director, broke down some of the issues with the American Privacy Rights Act.

It’s a bipartisan bill aimed at establishing national data privacy and security standards, but right now it has too many exemptions and loopholes.

Get your $%!@ together, tech platforms

At least 60 countries have national elections this year. There’s evidence of continued democratic backsliding and rising authoritarianism across the globe.

That’s why we’ve signed a letter, with more than 200 other civil society organizations and journalists, requesting platforms including Meta, Discord, Google, and Reddit step up their integrity efforts to protect democracy in 2024.

We’re asking them to, among other things:

🔐 Invest in greater platform integrity

👮 Enforce rules against election lies and hate in political advertising

🥸 Prohibit the use of deepfakes in political ads

🤳Hold influencer, public figure, and political candidate accounts to the same moderation and enforcement standards as everyone else

📊 Improve transparency and enable civil society oversight of enforcement practices by regularly sharing virality and enforcement reports

You can read the full letter here.

"Made for Advertising" Websites Are the Marketing Industry’s Latest Messy Situation

WSJ took a look at online publishers who drain ad spend with rapidly refreshing ads, bot clicks, and clickbait headlines. And while the article positions MFA sites as a “messy situation” worth debating, Nandini posted her much stronger opinion on LinkedIn.

Forbes’ seven-year MFA scheme shows how deep the rot runs in online advertising

Last week, The WSJ (a lot of WSJ today!) reported on how Forbes ran ads meant for Forbes.com on a spammy copycat site. Reacting to the story, Omar Oakes of The Media Leader writes, “If global publishers feel the need to spoof their own websites to sell garbage ad inventory, it means the state of online advertising is in even worse shape than many realize.”

How X accounts are exploiting the Israel-Gaza conflict to grow and profit

A new report from the Center for Countering Digital Hate shows how accounts are using hate as a growth hack — and X is profiting off it.









That’s all from us for this week. Expect some ~fun~ next week — it seems a major ad exchange is funding a toxic disinformation site, even after other advertisers and exchanges dropped it 🤔

Hugs,
