“Creative and media industries have teamed up on this “Make It Fair” initiative, calling for readers to help protect British creative industries. The campaign was created to fight government proposals that would allow artificial intelligence companies to train their models on copyright-protected work without permission.”

“Online sleuths speculate that Vance must have a burner account. How else could he consume so much news and parachute into so many conversations? A spokeswoman told RealClearPolitics that the vice president uses only one username: his official one. The dad jokes and the diatribes about everything from theology to political theory are his own, his aides insist. Communications staff don’t write his posts. He does.”

“The campaign drove incremental site traffic in nine out of the 10 markets where it ran. The “out-of-home” campaigns drove a 19% uplift in people recommending the publication, and over half of those exposed to the campaign would be somewhat or very likely to recommend WSJ to a friend/family member.

A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear.”
