The data to be collected includes a publication’s “sentiment” as well as geographical spread, top posters, languages, momentum, and circulation. No value for the contract was disclosed. 🤔
Could someone please justify how this could ever be used in a non-threatening and non-nefarious way?
Well up until recently we had a T_D mouthpiece that desperately tried to rationalize anything the current administration did, but he's dead now.
Reminds me of what happened with GameJournoPros during the whole GG fiasco, only not restricted to games media.
