ah strange, I thought it was just for the above filter - apologies, I guess that's the ignorance you get if you've dropped that $$$.

I can give you the general vibe which is BIG CLAIMS in a presentation followed by every "partner" (Amazon, Google etc.) giving 404 statements that they had nothing to do with this and that it was against their ToS

The piece from noodlejetski: https://lemmy.world/comment/12182781 gives you a previous iteration of this claim

it's the link above: https://www.404media.co/heres-the-pitch-deck-for-active-listening-ad-targeting/

A bundle of people say they have a paywall but they don't, they have an AI-bot-wall which can be got around with a free account. I'd recommend it tbh because they are doing very good work.

I pay the yearly subscription to support them as they are very much a rare entity in tech media: independent, reader-supported, and willing to ask difficult questions of tech companies, not fawn over their newest doodads.

You should read the 404 piece, it's considerably less sensational and doesn't flat lie in the headline. I hate Big Tech too, but this is very bad framing.
