PayPal Is Planning an Ad Business Using Data on Its Millions of Shoppers

Wall Street Journal (paywalled) The digital payments company plans to build an ad sales business around the reams of data it generates from tracking the purchases as well as the broader spending behaviors of millions of consumers who use its services, which include the more socially-enabled Venmo app.

PayPal has hired Mark Grether, who formerly led Uber’s advertising business, to lead the effort as senior vice president and general manager of its newly-created PayPal Ads division.

Could one of my trans comrades please stamp my “you don’t have to vote for Biden” card? Pls and thank u
  • The libs are correct. Not voting for Biden equals a vote for Trump. Trump and all Republicans are racists, misogynists and fascists. If you're really trans, then good luck with that regime. I won't be in the country so I won't hear you scream.

  • Suggestions for Merino Wool Tshirts?
  • When we were in New Zealand we learned that most of the wool goes to China for processing. So I bought a Merino undershirt from aliexpress. Definitely not as nice as Icebreaker, but the price keeps me warm!

  • What if I paid for all my free software?
  • I'm now on fixed income but I appreciate FOSS. I usually try to donate, especially if the project accepts bitcoin which I've had for a while so it costs me less. Too bad many projects don't. That includes Wikipedia and they keep asking why I stopped.

  • I'm retired on fixed income, but if I use an app, I try to send the developer some money. I usually only send if they have a bitcoin route. (Which is why I stopped supporting Wikipedia)

  • Lemmy Client with Filter

    I'm not sure where to ask this so I started here: here: Is there a Lemmy client that has a filter. I want to hide posts from particular accounts. Like anyone for hexbear, for example. I know I can set up my own instance, but that's more work than I want right now. I was hoping someone knew a client that could do this.

    Who cares about red flags in people. What are your green flags
  • "good" book is highly subjective. It depends not only on your tastes but also on your general mood while reading it. Same for film and art. I saw the Mona Lisa in person and was completely unimpressed.

  • Locally Acquired Malaria in Florida and Texas
    emergency.cdc.gov Health Alert Network (HAN) - 00494 | Locally Acquired Malaria Cases Identified in the United States

    Health Alert Network (HAN). Provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

    CDC issued an alert after identification of locally acquired malaria cases (P. vivax) in two U.S. states (Florida [4] and Texas [1]) within the last 2 months. Locally acquired mosquito-borne malaria has not occurred in the United States since 2003 when eight cases of locally acquired P. vivax malaria were identified in Palm Beach County, FL (1). Mosquito surveillance and control measures have been implemented in the affected area.
