Alan Chapell posted thisA special "holiday" thanks to my friends at AdExchanger for highlighting my recent The Monopoly Report article on GPC Signals in their news of the week piece - link below. Global Competition Control Global Privacy Control (GPC) is anti-competitive, argues privacy attorney Alan Chapell in his Monopoly Report newsletter. But, he adds, GPC is also the future of online privacy. GPC lets users opt out of targeted advertising using a single universal signal that must be honored across platforms, web browsers and ad tech. But in practice, only a few web browsers currently support GPC, including Brave, DuckDuckGo and Firefox. Chrome, Safari and Edge do not. However, starting next year, browsers must provide GPC opt-outs to comply with the California Opt Me Out Act. And, Chapell predicts, regulators will likely push CTV and mobile platforms to also adopt GPC. But Chapell sees GPC as a way for browsers to lock users into their own ad products under the guise of privacy if they enable GPC by default. And most browsers have their own ad products these days. For example, Brave blocks ads on publisher sites and instead features its own search and display ads, which it argues are more privacy-safe since user data isn’t tracked by any entity other than the browser. Every browser could copy this model using GPC as justification. Some states recognize the potential conflict of interest, with Colorado and Connecticut passing laws against browsers enabling GPC by default. Chapell advocates for California to join the club before its new law goes into effect.

Alan Chapell shared thisHere's another snippet from my interview with Mark Naples on this week's The Monopoly Report podcast. I wanted to ask the PR guy what he thinks of all the use of AI in industry thought pieces and LinkedIn. The use of AI around here is like the bad combover used in a previous generation by men of a certain age. EVERYONE knows when its being used.
-
Alan Chapell shared thisMark Naples and I started our respective businesses a little over 20 years ago and have regularly compared notes on how to grow and stay relevant in the digital media space. And while we come at this issues from a slightly different perspective, we found ourselves in the same room pretty frequently as industry self-reg was getting off the ground. So I asked Mark - was the Digital Advertising Alliance a success? Here's his answer. This week's The Monopoly Report podcast is a great listen.

Alan Chapell shared thisIs the Global Privacy Control anti-competitive? Given all we've learned over the last ten years about the economics of browsers, it is huge mistake to require the marketplace to support these signals without setting up competitive guard rails. To date, California has taken the lead on advocating for and requiring GPC as a privacy tool. But California has not taken any steps to ensure that browsers don't use GPC as a way to preference browser monetization tools. Other states (e.g., CT, CO) have done taken steps to ensure anti-preferencing and/or to ensure that those tools don't create a back door opt-in consent standard. To their credit, CalPrivacy has an open comment period where they will receive input on this and other issues. Pls check out this week's The Monopoly Report newsletter for more info....

Alan Chapell reacted on thisAlan Chapell reacted on thisI’m delighted to announce the launch of The DataStory Group. Built on the momentum of THE LITTLE BOOK OF DATA and my 20+ years leading data teams for billion dollar+ companies — and inspired by the urgency of this moment in business and tech — The DataStory Group is an advisory firm that helps clients grow and make money with data. I’ve had conversations with hundreds of companies in the last few years across marketing, media, and technology. I kept hearing the same themes again and again. > Startups need help sharpening their go-to-market strategy and telling a clearer story about why they matter. > Established companies are sitting on latent data that could be used to create value — but they have not yet put it to work. > Most firms have the raw material for thought leadership, but need help turning their own data and expertise into authority, awareness, and demand. In other words: a lot of smart companies know they have something valuable. What they need is help to: INNOVATE - Create new products with data and AI AUTOMATE - Speed workflows with AI ADVOCATE - Establish authority with thought leadership This is where The DataStory Group comes in. We’re not just strategy consultants who build powerpoints. We’re operators who have built businesses, understand team dynamics, anticipate what can go wrong, and have a powerful prejudice to revenue and results. We're energized by the need we're seeing. We're even more energized by the chance to help.

Lawyers need to stop lying to themselves. You are already using AI. No one approved it. There is no policy. Someone needed to get work done. Here’s the part that matters and the part most lawyers don’t want to confront: The second AI touched legal work, responsibility locked in. That’s how professional responsibility works. 👉 American Bar Association (ABA) Formal Opinion 512 is clear: The lawyer is still accountable. Always. Fully. Without exception. And pretending AI “isn’t really in the workflow yet” doesn’t protect anyone. It just guarantees exposure later. 👇 Be honest: Who, by name, is accountable for AI use at your firm right now? #iGovernAI™ 🤓❣️ #GovernBeforeYouAutomate™ #GovernBeforeYouInnovate™ #EEEAIProtocol #ABAEthics #LegalInnovation #LawFirmManagement #RiskManagement #LegalProfession #AIGovernance #LegalEthics #ProfessionalResponsibility #LawLeadership #ArtificialIntelligence

They suggested that New Jersey try to align more closely with other states that have comprehensive privacy laws. Read more here (paywall): https://lnkd.in/g7ie93HN #NJ #NJDPA #privacy #dataprivacy

Check out my colleague Jordan Francis' analysis on the recently amended Connecticut Data Privacy Act, which includes some interesting new applications to AI: - expanded scope of profiling opt-outs to include ANY automated decision that produces legal or similarly significant effects (previously was "solely" automated decision) - new exemption for collecting and using personal data (such as demographic information) for bias testing - new consumer right to contest profiling decisions - controllers must disclose whether they are collecting, using, or selling personal data for training LLMs

A separate but related piece of legislation requires consent from heirs or executors if a person wants to use the name, image, or likeness of an individual for commercial purposes after their death."

Two major developments signal that Global Privacy Control (GPC) and opt-out preference signals are moving from niche to mainstream: Multi-State Privacy Sweep — The California Privacy Protection Agency joined with the Attorneys General of California, Colorado, and Connecticut to launch an investigative sweep to determine whether businesses are properly honoring GPC opt-out requests. With California’s detailed regulations and upcoming 2026 amendments requiring businesses to display whether they processed signals, expectations for compliance are increasing rapidly. California’s “Opt Me Out Act” — Lawmakers passed AB 566, which, if signed by the Governor, will require major browsers like Chrome, Safari, and Edge to provide consumers with built-in tools to send opt-out signals starting January 1, 2027. This mandate aims to promote the adoption of OOPS and raise consumer awareness. Together, these actions signal a major shift: businesses need to gear up for increased enforcement, while consumers will soon have easier tools to exercise their privacy rights.

Most states address digital asset regulation through money transmission laws; a growing number of states, though, have transitioned toward specialized digital asset licensing. "Digital asset": a "digital representation of value that is used as a medium of exchange, unit of account, or store of value, and that is not legal tender." https://lnkd.in/eFxpJfds

The creation of the Consortium to Collaborate on Privacy Issues (including CA, CO, CT, DE, IN, NJ, and OR) is an important development. While AG's offices often collaborate on issues of mutual interest (including common enforcement issues or consolidated challenges to the federal government), a dedicated privacy collaboration reflects both the essential commonality of the privacy laws in these states and the effort to share insights and develop common approaches in a rapidly evolving space. https://lnkd.in/eVUEnJjj
