Adchoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements
AdChoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements Saranga Komanduri, Richard Shay, Greg Norcie, Blase Ur, Lorrie Faith Cranor March 30, 2011 (revised October 7, 2011) CMU-CyLab-11-005 CyLab Carnegie Mellon University Pittsburgh, PA 15213 AdChoices? Compliance with Online Behavioral Advertising Notice and Choice Requirements Saranga Komanduri, Richard Shay, Greg Norcie, Blase Ur, Lorrie Faith Cranor Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA {sarangak, rshay, ganorcie, bur, lorrie}@cmu.edu Abstract. Online behavioral advertisers track users across websites, often without users' knowledge. Over the last twelve years, the online behavioral advertising industry has responded to the resulting privacy concerns and pressure from the FTC by creating private self- regulatory bodies. These include the Network Advertising Initiative (NAI) and an umbrella organization known as the Digital Advertising Alliance (DAA). In this paper, we enumerate the DAA and NAI notice and choice requirements and check for compliance with those requirements by examining NAI members' privacy policies and reviewing ads on the top 100 websites. We also test DAA and NAI opt-out mechanisms and categorize how their members define opting out. Our results show that most members are in compliance with some of the notice and choice requirements, but two years after the DAA published its Self-Regulatory Principles, there are still numerous instances of non-compliance. Most examples of non- compliance are related to the ``enhanced notice” requirement, which requires advertisers to mark behavioral ads with a link to further information and a means of opting out. Revised October 7, 2011. Keywords: Online behavioral advertising; privacy; consumer choice; notice; public policy 1 Introduction The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) defines online behavioral advertising (OBA) as “the practice of tracking consumers' activities online to target advertising.”1 The FTC has been examining ways to reduce the privacy concerns associated with OBA for over a decade. -
The State of the News: Texas
THE STATE OF THE NEWS: TEXAS GOOGLE’S NEGATIVE IMPACT ON THE JOURNALISM INDUSTRY #SaveJournalism #SaveJournalism EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Antitrust investigators are finally focusing on the anticompetitive practices of Google. Both the Department of Justice and a coalition of attorneys general from 48 states and the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico now have the tech behemoth squarely in their sights. Yet, while Google’s dominance of the digital advertising marketplace is certainly on the agenda of investigators, it is not clear that the needs of one of the primary victims of that dominance—the journalism industry—are being considered. That must change and change quickly because Google is destroying the business model of the journalism industry. As Google has come to dominate the digital advertising marketplace, it has siphoned off advertising revenue that used to go to news publishers. The numbers are staggering. News publishers’ advertising revenue is down by nearly 50 percent over $120B the last seven years, to $14.3 billion, $100B while Google’s has nearly tripled $80B to $116.3 billion. If ad revenue for $60B news publishers declines in the $40B next seven years at the same rate $20B as the last seven, there will be $0B practically no ad revenue left and the journalism industry will likely 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 disappear along with it. The revenue crisis has forced more than 1,700 newspapers to close or merge, the end of daily news coverage in 2,000 counties across the country, and the loss of nearly 40,000 jobs in America’s newsrooms. -
In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in Youtube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members?
In What Way Is the Rhetoric Used in YouTube Videos Altering the Perception of the LGBTQ+ Community for Both Its Members and Non-Members? NATALIE MAURER Produced in Thomas Wright’s Spring 2018 ENC 1102 Introduction The LBGTQ community has become a much more prevalent part of today's society. Over the past several years, the LGBTQ community has been recognized more equally in comparison to other groups in society. June 2015 was a huge turning point for the community due to the legalization of same sex marriage. The legalization of same sex marriage in June 2015 had a great impact on the LBGTQ community, as well as non-members. With an increase in new media platforms like YouTube, content on the LGBTQ community has become more accessible and more prevalent than decades ago. LGBTQ media has been represented in movies, television shows, short videos, and even books. The exposure of LQBTQ characters in a popular 2000s sitcom called Will & Grace paved the way for LGBTQ representation in media. A study conducted by Edward Schiappa and others concluded that exposure to LGBTQ communities through TV helped educate Americans, therefore reducing sexual prejudice. Unfortunately, the way the LBGTQ community is portrayed through online media such as YouTube has an effect on LGBTQ members and non-members, and it has yet to be studied. Most “young people's experiences are affected by the present context characterized by the rapidly increasing prevalence of new (online) media” because of their exposure to several media outlets (McInroy and Craig 32). This gap has led to the research question does the LGBTQ representation on YouTube negatively or positively represent this community to its members, and in what way is the community impacted by this representation as well as non- members? One positive way the LGBTQ community was represented through media was on the popular TV show Will & Grace. -

The Musicless Music Video As a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on Youtube
International Journal of Communication 11(2017), 3634–3654 1932–8036/20170005 The Musicless Music Video as a Spreadable Meme Video: Format, User Interaction, and Meaning on YouTube CANDE SÁNCHEZ-OLMOS1 University of Alicante, Spain EDUARDO VIÑUELA University of Oviedo, Spain The aim of this article is to analyze the musicless music video—that is, a user-generated parodic musicless of the official music video circulated in the context of online participatory culture. We understand musicless videos as spreadable content that resignifies the consumption of the music video genre, whose narrative is normally structured around music patterns. Based on the analysis of the 22 most viewed musicless videos (with more than 1 million views) on YouTube, we aim, first, to identify the formal features of this meme video format and the characteristics of the online channels that host these videos. Second, we study whether the musicless video generates more likes, dislikes, and comments than the official music video. Finally, we examine how the musicless video changes the multimedia relations of the official music video and gives way to new relations among music, image, and text to generate new meanings. Keywords: music video, music meme, YouTube, participatory culture, spreadable media, interaction For the purposes of this research, the musicless video is considered as a user-generated memetic video that alters and parodies an official music video and is spread across social networks. The musicless video modifies the original meaning of the official-version music video, a genre with one of the greatest impacts on the transformation of the audiovisual landscape in the past 10 years. -
Youtube Nation
YouTube Nation Caroline Heldman Occidental College College professors have a front row seat to the latest youth addiction, the side effects of which include bloodshot eyes and late assignment. YouTube, the most popular video sharing website, is the newest media technology craze, and, like other web-based virtual communities (e.g., MySpace and Facebook), logging on has become part of the daily routine for millions of young people. This essay examines the political implications of YouTube. I begin with a brief description of its history, a profile of its users, and the company’s practices. I then analyze the potential political impact of YouTube using examples from the 2006 congressional election cycle, and conclude that this medium will change the face of campaigns in coming decades. Brief History of YouTube YouTube was started by Chad Hurley, Steve Chen, and Jawed Karim, three 20-something employees of PayPal, in order to share videos with their friends. The site was officially activated on February 15, 2005 to modest popularity, and nearly 20 million people now visit the site monthly (USA Today, 2006). Approximately 100 million videos are viewed on a daily basis, and about 65,000 videos are uploaded each day. YouTube is one of the fastest growing websites on the Net in terms of visitors, handily beating the competition, including Yahoo! Video Search, MSN Video Search, MySpace Video, and Google Video. YouTube currently enjoyed 43% of the video sharing market, as measured by number of “hits” (USA Today, 2006), and was named Time Magazine’s 2006 “Invention of the Year.” With fewer than 70 employees and modest operating costs, YouTube was sold for a considerable profit to Google for $1.65 billion in November of 2006. -
