Google Joke: A Googler Walks into a Coffee Shop with a Regulator and…
February 17, 2022
I read an amusing write up called “Google Keeps Android Ad Tool Into At Least 2024, Exploring Other Options.” I think the writer of the article is serious, not crafting a joke for Joe Rogan’s much admired “Man Show” comments. Here is the passage I found semi amusing:
Google said it would give “substantial notice” before axing what is known as AdId. But it will immediately begin seeking feedback on its proposed alternatives, which Google said aim to better protect users’ privacy and curb covert surveillance.
But better than what? What happens if there are technical issues in 2024? A Googler walks into a coffee shop with a regulator and says, “We need more time to better protect users’ privacy and curb covert surveillance.”
The regulator laughs out loud because he was thinking of Apple marginalizing Facebook. Perhaps the Google is delivering some Meta-Aid. Whoops. I meant to type Meta AdID.
