WhatsApp can't be trusted. Signal can't be trusted. Telegram can't be trusted. Instagram can't be trusted. Then what is the solution?

For nearly 30 years, journalists have relied on the Internet Archive to see how stories were originally published, before edits, removals, or changes. We need to safeguard that. eff.org/deeplinks/2026…

@larakiara reminds me of someone else's playbook

The Trade Desk CEO Jeff Green has spearheaded the adtech giant's newly combative communications strategy, throwing rhetorical punches at the media, Wall Street, Amazon, and Madison Avenue. And he's teased that there's more to come. businessinsider.com/trade-desk-jef…

@EricTilbury_RTB concur

If you cold call me to sell me something in adtech I PROMISE you I will never do business with you.

NEW: VIPs & regular people are losing their @signalapp accounts to a clever deception. I've made a little graphic of how the attack works. Here's how to protect yourself1/

@Moe_rants it's not their fault; this happens even when fcaps are set properly

Someone needs to tell the Disney AdOps person managing the eBay campaign to add fCaps. I've seen the same 2 eBay creatives 12x combined in the last two hours. Sheesh.

@HatesAdtech @EricTilbury_RTB @DustinCha_ they beat around the bush or insist that is is already being enforced and that I'm smoking something

@EricTilbury_RTB @acfou @DustinCha_ Dude this shouldn’t happen. What do they say the explanation is?

I urge you all, please, to regularly pull reports using ads.txt and sellers.json. You should absolutely know what percentage of your buy is authorized direct versus unauthorized versus reseller, and exactly who is selling you what. If you do have unauthorized or even reseller purchasing going on, you should know exactly why you are buying that. Blindly buying unauthorized and reseller inventory will burn your budget. Not enough people say this often enough. I love this industry, and I want to see it thrive. It only thrives with trust, and that trust comes with better performance, and that better performance comes with better buying habits. Please, hear me out.

@EricTilbury_RTB @HatesAdtech @DustinCha_ agree

I don’t have to educate anyone on this thread, just for anyone reading this thread. Some PMPs straight from publishers themselves (not an ssp salesperson) will come through as unauthorized, if you have a hard block on authorized direct you’ll miss out on that inventory. That’s why sellers.json is such a good tool to validate who’s selling you what. It’s also a good reason to manage your own QPS where you can make exceptions for those PMPs and have the hammer of authorized direct on others. Knowing when to filter and when to allow is such a good thing.

@HatesAdtech @EricTilbury_RTB @DustinCha_ you'd think, right? actual practice shows otherwise and massive numbers of new AI slop sites are seen in the data today (they wouldn't get in if parties enforced ads.txt properly)

@acfou @EricTilbury_RTB @DustinCha_ I mean here’s the thing — the override could potentially exist for reasons, but like, it should be hard. It should be like when you’re on a website without an ssl cert

@aripap I dont know why you don't name the name. Pesach Lattin was previously kicked off of Linkedin for harassment, and he just started up new accounts and continued.

I'm not going to name names, but there's a shitty AI-written newsletter in the ads business written by a shitty person who accuses everyone of either being sexist or anti-semitic. He does this publicly and privately, and it is a pattern. 2/x

Hey everyone, I hope we've all got good vibes coming from this week's conference. Packed house, great content, great people. But that's not stopping a certain useless troll from yucking our yum. More on the trolling below and what to do about it 🧵.

@HatesAdtech @EricTilbury_RTB @DustinCha_ and letting them thru and transacting on it too did you know the buyer has to check "enforce ads.txt" checkbox on Xandr otherwise it doesn't get enforced, even though "they have ads.txt"

@HatesAdtech @EricTilbury_RTB @DustinCha_ every

@EricTilbury_RTB and to pre-empt all the bros who are going to claim ads.txt solves this. I dare you to actually read this. Why did ads.txt fail - linkedin.com/pulse/few-bad-…

@EricTilbury_RTB if you don't do what Eric said, you're exposing yourself to 10 - 40X more unpermissioned (fake) bid requests than real ones linkedin.com/pulse/even-whe…

@stateofstreamtv super good. did others at Marketecture see it too?
