Open Technology Workshop – Block all the Ads!

Meeting Details

June 18, 2025, 7:00 PM
Topic: Block all the Ads!
Description: Whether it's for an essential product or for a crypto scam, we are constantly bombarded by ads from nearly every single online service you see. Advertisers have monetized every detail of our lives and, as the objects of targeted advertising, we have allowed them unprecedented access and influence on our more personal decisions. But it's possible spot these connections between advertising and your privacy, and ultimately curb the influence they have on your personal agency. We'll learn how online advertising works, what it means for your family's privacy, and what we can do to block ads and limit our exposure to online trackers.
