Launch of CDT's Future of Online Advertising Project - October 2023 Presentation

Date of presentation: October 10, 2023
The #OnlineAdvertising ecosystem is at an inflection point: too broken and politically contentious to continue in its current form, yet too important to publishers, small businesses, creators, campaigners, and other stakeholders to throw out altogether. The moment is ripe to imagine what a better system-one that respects #privacy and that works for advertisers, publishers, the public, and our democracies-should look like, and how to get there. And the Center for Democracy & Technology (CDT), in consultation with others, is working on a plan.
Ensuring that online advertising respects #HumanRights, bolsters #democracy, and enables legitimate commercial activity in a transparent and accountable way has never been more important. Doing so will require reconciling competing interests, recognizing aligned incentives, and resolving perceived tensions between core values like privacy, free expression, protection from discrimination, and market competition.
To this end, CDT's Privacy & Data team launched its Future of Online Advertising project with a Working Group presentation and discussion on October 10, bringing together experts from a range of backgrounds-notably the ad industry, academia, and civil society-and perspectives.
