NEW RELEASE — Rigby Mono by Pieter van Rosmalen!
Our small Rigby type family got a little larger: now also available in a monospaced variant that makes monospaced text extra personable. Nevertheless, Rigby is still not overwhelming you with a confusing number of styles. Two weights, regular and bold, and a matching italic provide all the emphasis you need for simple projects and correspondence, on screens as well as in print.

And #democracy is undermined by the #microtargeting from #socialmedia - #Trump /Brexit/Romania etc
The deeper problems connected with advertising come less from the unscrupulousness of our 'deceivers' than from our pleasure in being deceived, less from the desire to seduce than from the desire to be seduced.

New pre-print online:
‘The EU Digital Services Act: what does it mean for online advertising and adtech?’
By Pieter Wolters and me.
We explore the question: what does the Digital Services Act mean for online advertising?
We show that some types of ad tech companies, such as ad networks, should be considered platforms.
Comments are welcome! It's a pre-print, so we can still improve it.
HELP! 
Anybody in PR/advertising in NYC and know where this Publicis dinner is taking place?
"We are also hosting a dinner in New York on Tuesday, where former Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross will share insights with about 40 global CEOs."

Instead, Mozilla had successfully enabled data collection in its largest user population (the release branch of #Firefox) and was now able to use that data for #advertising purposes. That wasn’t how it was reported, that isn’t how we saw it - but that seems to be what happened.
Wondering how much you have to pay for a buggy word processor that inserts ads into your document. Because LibreOffice doesn't charge anything.
