An analysis of the policy documents outlining the practical measures of the Green Deal shows that it will decrease carbon emissions in Europe, but also increase carbon emissions outside the EU. This increase is more than double the amount of carbon emissions saved by the Green Deal.
Their conclusion is that the Green Deal in its current form will lead to an increase of 244.8% in emissions in countries outside the EU compared to the Green Deal’s carbon reduction goal in the land, land use change, and forestry sector within EU borders.
Still it looks like CMG pitched a plan to serve ads by listening to user conversations. Of course CMG and their clients are gonna deny it.
Summary:
There are concerns that some smartphone apps may be using “active listening” to collect users’ voice data and combine it with other behavioral data to serve targeted ads. A leaked pitch deck from ad tech company CMG Local Solutions detailed this method, but the company claims the product has been discontinued. Major tech companies like Google, Meta, and Amazon have denied involvement with CMG’s active listening program. Experts advise users to regularly review app permissions and disable unnecessary microphone access to avoid unwanted background listening.
