  1. I've been using these for awhile now.... I also currently use their defaults and am/was compliant... ..... Then why the new announcement specifying "all"? "they will require all partners using their publisher products to use a Google certified CMP when serving ads to users in the EEA or the UK. "
  2. Comply with Google's new requirement for all Adsense users to work with a certified CMP. According to Google’s announcement1, they will require all partners using their publisher products to use a Google certified CMP when serving ads to users in the EEA or the UK. This means that if you decide to not use one, you may not be able to serve ads from Google or other ad technology providers that are registered with the TCF. This could affect your ad revenue and performance. Therefore, it is advisable to comply with Google’s requirement and choose a Google certified CMP for your website. You can find a Google certified CMP by checking the list of Google-certified CMPs that Google has published on its help center1. The list includes the name, ID, and platform of each certified CMP. You can also contact your existing CMP to see if they intend to be certified by Google. Some examples of Google certified CMPs are OneTrust2, Usercentrics34, and Cookiebot5.
  3. Anyone have details or insights for how this will affect most of us small fish that run very small Adsense accounts? How much will it cost? How will it be implemented? Any more details will be very much appreciated.
  4. Thank you @Daniel F..... your team nailed this one.
  5. I have about 20 old URL's the Google keeps searching from a long time ago when my domain name wasn't hosted w/ IPS. Is there an easy way to redirect these 20 or so URL's so as to avoid any of these "restricted ad serving" warnings? Thanks in advance!
  6. @Real Mythotical Thank you for that. I will keep my community locked down to new members and advertising will fall off.... but I will try to stay alive until this law is repealed or clarified better.
  7. Sad. But true. The final days of a once good idea. I would have rather seen it and my site (community) grow and thrive.
  8. Or maybe the IP laws were fine in 1995 and they have been lobbied by corporate $ to turn the internet into what it is today. thanks for being one of guinea pigs who might be able to turn this ship around. Somehow I doubt it though. Sadly.
  9. Seems like there should be a limit built in for this behavior somewhere.
  10. The Protecting Lawful Streaming Act of 2020 is a United States law that makes it a felony to engage in large-scale streaming of copyright material. ... The CAA passed the house and the senate on December 21, 2020, and was signed into law by President Donald Trump on December 27, 2020. The bill specifically targets commercial or for-profit websites that operate as "digital transmission service[s]", that primarily function to stream copyrighted material without authorization of the copyright holders.[3] An example of one such website is NFLBite. The website provides its visitors with unauthorized sources that stream National Football League (NFL) games for free. The NFL has taken NFLBite to court through civil lawsuits in attempts to stop their streaming of full NFL games, but are unable to seek criminal charges due to limitations of U.S. copyright law.[4] The bill adds to Title 18 of the United States Code that would make operating these sites a criminal felony, with a maximum penalty of up to ten years imprisonment, and additional fines if convicted.[1] This brings the act of offering such unauthorized streaming media at a large scale to the same scope of penalty as for offering illegal downloads or physical copies of the same content, closing the streaming media loophole.[3] Tillis stated that the bill is tailored to specifically target the websites themselves, and not "those who may use the sites nor those individuals who access pirated streams or unwittingly stream unauthorized copies of copyrighted works".[3] Tillis' office and the tech advocacy group Public Knowledge clarified that the bill was not aimed at video game live streamers on platforms like Twitch, or their viewers.[4] - Wikipedia Next question..... who wants to be the guinea pig to find out what happens when your next user uploads some video or photo from a well connected author? I posit that the chilling effect is already happening.
  11. The "Protecting Lawful Streaming Act" Have one user post a few short videos from a publisher with a friend in Law Enforcement and you could go to jail? What about 2 copies of a magazine that the user considers fair use but the publisher disagrees. Jail for the forum owner? Felony offenses? Is the enjoyment of being a forum owner no longer worth the potential risk? https://www.wtae.com/article/10-years-in-prison-for-illegal-streaming-it-s-in-the-covid-19-relief-bill/35044633# Or am I overreacting?
  12. Yes... but there was another measure about "streaming" and making it a felony.... I need to find that information somewhere. Good news is Section 230 is still in place (at least for now)
  13. I heard there was a recent law making a forum owner guilty of a felony of streaming was done by a user on the platform. Does anyone know the details? I may be confusing this with the section 230 issue. Can someone bring me up to speed?
  14. Let me just add that the most important perspective for ALL of us should be the user's perspective. Invision and I are partners in this venture...... we should care about how our user's feel.... not so much how we feel. Can you imagine going to your Facebook post from 3 years ago only to find out you can't edit it or even reply to it because Mark Zuckerberg decided to "archive" it on you? That is so 1996. I understand the need for archiving huge sites over time....... and by that I mean I would (as a user) not complain if Yahoo Groups archived posts from like 10-15 years ago. but posts within a decade should be fair game.
  15. I would not call my website a large site at all...... (AND I pay Amazon for their S3 buckets for storage.....) Will I wake up next month to find out there is a maximum amount of posts on any website or club? And I noticed my search function isn't keeping up to date for the first time today..... How are we supposed to eventually compete with the giants if we can't even support our tiny websites. What a disappointing journey this online publishing business has become. I'm glad I'm slowly exiting the business. Anybody else in my shoes?
