Uber will leverage first-party data to help brands reach its 122 million monthly active users. What this means is that Uber riders will now be delivered advertisements in the app while they are waiting for their driver and even during their ride as they open the app to track their journey. Uber is also launching “journey ads,” which it describes as “an engaging way for brands to connect with consumers throughout the entire ride process.” Uber’s advertising division was formed earlier this year under the leadership of advertising veteran Mark Grether, who has previously worked with Amazon Advertising, as the CEO of online advertising company Sizmek, and co-founder of media agency Xaxis. Republicans have long accused tech giants of discriminating against conservative views and suppressing free speech.ĭUBAI: Uber, the global ride-hailing service, has launched an advertising division that will enable brands to market within Uber’s apps - and even in an Uber. It said the fact that so much of its mail was going to spam folders had cost it revenue and it would cost it more in coming weeks as midterm elections loom. The committee said the “discrimination” had been going on for about 10 months despite its best efforts to work with Google. “Critically, and suspiciously, this end of the month period is historically when the RNC’s fundraising is most successful,” the lawsuit said, adding that it doesn’t matter whether the email is about donating, voting, or community outreach. The RNC said that for most of the month, nearly all of its emails end up in users’ inboxes but at the end of the month, which is an important time for fund-raising, nearly all of their emails end up in spam folders. Spam filters on email services typically weed out unsolicited “spam” messages and divert them to a separate folder. Google did not immediately respond to a request from Reuters for comment. “Google has relegated millions of RNC emails en masse to potential donors’ and supporters’ spam folders during pivotal points in election fundraising and community building,” the RNC said in the lawsuit. The US political committee accuses the tech giant of “discriminating” against it by “throttling its email messages because of the RNC’s political affiliation and views,” according to a lawsuit filed in the Eastern District of California. The Republican National Committee (RNC) filed a lawsuit against Google on Friday, for allegedly sending its emails to users’ spam folders. The hackers added a message on screen, urging Khamenei to vacate his Tehran office and flee the country: “It’s time to collect your furniture from Pasteur Street and find another place for your family outside Iran.” In videos posted online, the news anchor is seen shifting uncomfortably in his seat after the clip finishes, with his squirming reaction becoming a widely shared meme on social media, despite recent Internet restrictions. Inside the Islamic republic, Tasnim news agency confirmed that the evening news broadcast “was hacked for a few moments by anti-revolutionary agents.” The hack was widely reported by Persian media and rights groups based outside Iran, who shared the footage on social media. The images beamed to Iranian viewers for a number of seconds also showed black-and-white pictures of Amini and three other women killed in the more than three weeks of unrest and crackdown by state security forces.Īnger flared after the death of Amini on September 16, three days after her arrest in Tehran by the notorious morality police for an alleged breach of the Islamic republic’s strict dress code for women. The hack interrupted footage of Khamenei meeting state officials and was claimed by the Edalat-e Ali (Ali’s Justice) hacktivist group, which added a slogan on the top right-hand corner of the screen: “Join us and rise up.” “The blood of our youths is on your hands,” read a message on screen in the broadcast that started 9pm local time Saturday, as protests sparked by the death of Mahsa Amini, 22, again rocked Tehran and other cities.
