Collective Action - A User's Right to Get Paid!




Users have been coerced to give up their private data rights in exchange for platform services like search engines, social networks and web sites. Being coerced may not seem too perverse, but the collective value of each users data is now the basis for several trillion dollars in corporate and shareholder valuations, with no financial benefit accruing to owners of that data. 

Historically household data was aggregated by services like Nielsen. Contracts were entered with families who were paid to provide psycho-demographic information and media viewing habits over weeks, months and years. From the 1950's that data was purchased and analyzed to shape the massive industry that television became, but web-site terms and conditions changed the payment model for use of an individuals private data.  

So, why should users continue to be singled out and exploited when platform services are being commoditized and the value of private data, in exchange for these services is no longer as enticing as it once was? Isn't it time collectives of individual users demand payment for use of their aggregated private data and act to obtain it? 

AdFreeway was born to address this massive, looming ethical issue that has been dormant for almost 20 years. Publishers, advertisers and their agencies are facing a serious conundrum because, like most they accepted and followed the status-quo instead of fighting for the individual and collective data rights of their audiences. 

AdFreeway advocates for change with a pay-model that intelligently assigns a for-payment-value to the collective of individual data used to serve an ad impression. Further, the performance of the ad impression adjusts the valuation assigned to individuals in the collective especially those whose data was most responsible for the impression performance. 

More than 250,000 AdFreeway reward instances have now been issued to users, each redeemable for cash and various ecards offered. As more ad campaigns are booked by AdFreeway for agencies and their clients more reward instances will be paid to users. AdFreeway benefits the collective in ways that engage audiences, align brands, improves the equation for publishers and makes advertising on the internet a more equitable solution for everyone. 

Its time for collective action, beginning with this example - https://www.adfreeway.com/vote/dill-pickles

  2. You have good articles here! If anyone here is looking for a loan @ 2% rate in return to buy a home or other financing needs, I want you to contact Mr Pedro On pedroloanss@gmail.com When I was introduced to Mr. Pedro at the market watch seminar, I was entering the market as a first time buyer. Naturally,my needs were a bit different and I had loads of questions. Before he sent me my pre-approval letter, he called to speak with me about what it meant and what could change. He made himself available to me at pretty much any hour via email and texts. He was very responsive and knowledgeable. He’s also very straightforward. I explained to him what my expectations were in terms of closing time and other particulars. He said he would meet those expectations but he surpassed them. I closed so quickly my realtor and the seller of course were excited about that. But as a buyer I appreciated being walked through the process of Mr Pedro loan offer. From pre-approval to closing- the journey was so seamless and I consider myself lucky because I’ve heard horror stories. I recommend him to anyone looking for a loan. Everything was handled electronically expediently and securely
