So, I was on a panel a while ago: What Does the Future Hold for Global Privacy Controls? - YouTube

The main point here is that Global Privacy Control affects all marketing projects at a company, not just web advertising.

  • If you have a GPC from a customer, it affects everything including sales of postal direct mail lists, social media custom audiences, all of it.

  • If you use GPC when you place an order, and you give the seller your info, then GPC affects all of what the company can do with your info, not just your current web session or order.

(Update 22 Sep 2025) More on the latest with GPC: If You’re A Publisher And You Don’t Know What A UOOM Is, Then Read This by Allison Schiff.

Anyway, they put it up as a YouTube video, so if I want to make an audio file to listen to offline I should download and convert it. (Update 22 Sep 2025) There are (at least) two options for getting the video file: using Live Recorder in the browser, or yt-dlp from the command line. You only have to do 1a or 1b.

Step 1a: Make a recording with Live Recorder.

OR

Step 1b: Download a temporary copy of the video with

yt-dlp -o tmp.mp4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MjAeKqJll7E

Step 2: Extract the audio stream with ffmpeg. (source: video conversion - Lossless extraction of streams from WebM - Super User)

ffmpeg -i $VIDEO_FILENAME -vn -acodec copy out.ogg

(Put in the filename you got from 1a or 1b for $VIDEO_FILENAME)
