☆ Ad transparency tools are 'major disappointment' ahead of election, new study shows
  + stars: | 2024-04-16 | by ( Hayden Field | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +5 min
That's according to research out Tuesday from Mozilla and CheckFirst, which concludes that leading tech platforms are lagging in their ad transparency tools. None of the results were great, and some were "a major disappointment," according to the researchers. "This is now no longer something that's voluntary," Claire Pershan, EU advocacy lead at Mozilla, told CNBC. It's troubling news as the major platforms prepare for a huge year of elections that affect upward of 4 billion people in more than 40 countries. Lesplingart told CNBC that users had to know the advertiser name, targeted country and date of the advertisement in order to export to an ad file.

  + stars: | 2024-03-12 | by ( Hayden Field | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google and Alphabet, speaks on artificial intelligence during a Bruegel think tank conference in Brussels, Belgium, on Jan. 20, 2020. Google announced it will restrict the types of election-related queries that users can ask its Gemini chatbot, adding it has already rolled out the changes in the U.S. and in India, where voters will head to the polls this spring. "Out of an abundance of caution on such an important topic, we have begun to roll out restrictions on the types of election-related queries for which Gemini will return responses," Google wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. "We take our responsibility for providing high-quality information for these types of queries seriously, and are continuously working to improve our protections." A Google spokesperson told CNBC that the changes are in line with the company's planned approach for elections.

☆ California may build solar panels alongside highways to power homes
  + stars: | 2023-10-10 | by ( Rebecca Picciotto | ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +2 min
Gavin Newsom on Saturday gave the greenlight for the state's transportation and energy officials to figure out how to install solar panels, battery storage and other renewable energy sites along highways. According to the state's Department of Transportation, California has 250 state highways containing more than 15,000 miles of road. The empty land alongside those roads could be used to generate one gigawatt of potential solar energy, which could power over 270,000 California homes, according to a joint report from Environment California, a nonprofit backer of SB 49, and highway solar advocate The Ray. In 2008, Oregon became the first state to develop a solar highway project, which now has nearly 600 solar panels. Using empty space along highways to install clean energy sites would help alleviate pressure on the state's deserts where many solar panels are currently housed.

☆ Bankrupt Meme-Stock Favorite Revlon to Be Delisted From New York Stock Exchange
  + stars: | 2022-10-20 | by ( Becky Yerak | Josh Beckerman | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Revlon Inc. shares will be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange after a surge of market interest in the beauty-products supplier following its chapter 11 filing in June. Shares fell 5% on Thursday to close at $3.90 before the NYSE said it had denied Revlon’s appeal to stay listed on the Big Board. The stock is now expected to continue trading over the counter, according to the company, which was trading around $2 when it filed for bankruptcy but soared more than 400% the following week. It has since closed at prices approaching $9.
