I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night.

Ignore them.

Reading thru an ex-Google exec's deposition unsealed last night, these excerpts stopped me cold. Brings questions of IAB's independence, especially given its silence on Google's antitrust violations. And little hope it'll speak up about Meta's sweeping new commercial terms. 1/2
