#Meta to set up $50M #privacy payment scheme to settle #Australian proceeding
Meta has agreed to a $50 million payment program to settle a long-running proceeding in #Australia related to misuse of information for #politicalad targeting, the country’s information watchdog #OAIC announced Tuesday.
I love this. Perfect advertising (for what I can only assume is the newest hit horror movie of the season).
10/10, no notes.

‘Free Speech Absolutist’ Elon Musk Hides Effective Political Ad That Calls Out GOP
#TechDirt #ElonMusk #FreeSpeech #PoliticalAd #GOP #HiddenAd #Politics #News
Props to Progressive Action Fund for making the (NSFW and steamy) best political ad I've ever seen, "Republicans in your bedroom".
After overturning Roe in the Dobbs decision, many Republicans want to restrict reproductive rights even further — including birth control! I'm not exaggerating. In his concurrence with the Dobbs decision, Clearance Thomas wrote:
In future cases, we should reconsider all of this Court’s substantive due process precedents, including Griswold [which ruled that the Constitution provides the right to contraception], Lawrence [which ruled that the Constitution provides a right to privacy in most private, consensual adult sexual activity, including between those of the same sex], and Obergefell [which ruled that the fundamental right to marry is guaranteed to same-sex couples by both the Due Process Clause and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution]. Because any substantive due process decision is “demonstrably erroneous,” we have a duty to “correct the error” established in those precedents.
Ohio Republicans spent a ton of doner and taxpayer money to set up a special election on August 8th, just for one issue, hoping it would pass with low turnout. If it passes, it will raise the threshold for passing ballot issues from 50% to 60%, allowing a 40% minority to veto future ballot issues, such as a ballot issue to amend the Ohio constitution to protect reproductive rights. It would also remove one of the few remaining checks on a heavily gerrymandered statehouse.
If you know anyone in Ohio, make sure they know about the special election for Issue 1 on August 8th, and urge them to vote No.
Early in-person and absentee voting has started.
Election Day is Tuesday, August 8. Polls will be open from 6:30am until 7:30pm.

[SPOILER WARNING BELOW]
#Peace, little girl aka Daisy aka Daisy Girl was the #PoliticalAd campaign to end all ad campaigns. It opens innocently enough with a little blonde girl, picking the petals of an ox-eye #daisy while counting. When the final petal's gone, the tone changes completely*
This deceptively simple #propaganda #film was made in support of Lyndon B. Johnson's 1964 presidential campaign by ad agency #DBB and media consultant #TonySchwartz. It was so effective and bleak in is insinuations that the Johnson campaign was forced to pull it after only one screening.
What fascinates me is the similarity with one particular scene from James Whale's Frankenstein (1931). The Monster (#Karloff) meets a little girl who sits on the shore of a lake, picking daisies. He approaches her, and the girl, knowing the creature is a good man at heart, invites him to play a game with her involving them tossing the daisies into the lake. <spoiler>When they run out of daisies, the Monster picks up the girl who to him is as pretty and innocent as a flower, and throws her into the water.</spoiler>.
This scene was cut and considered lost until the 1980s. Could Tony Schwartz have been aware of that scene? He was at the right age to have seen the pre-code, pre-cut version.
*Peace, little girl is deceptively simple and only a minute long. However, do watch it on a sunny day: https://www.loc.gov/item/mbrs01185386.
