SXSW 2020
Surveillance Capitalism & A Broken Ad Ecosystem
Description:
When Brendan Eich invented JavaScript in 1995, he had no idea that his creation would turn into the catalyst for the targeted advertising and invasive tracking that consumers experience on the Web today. Fast forward to today and the online ecosystem is completely broken - fueled by an ad industry riddled with fraud, poor consumer experience with no privacy or control, and publishers losing money to a select few platforms. Brendan will conduct an eye-opening discussion about the surveillance capitalism corrupting the digital world today and what a privacy-by-default future should, and will, look like.
