Shinka CEO Calls for Neutral Oversight in Ad Tech Industry
· 10h ago · Originally reported by Beet.TV
Shinka CEO Kieran Greene argues that the ad tech sector requires an impartial referee to oversee operations, rather than another participant acting as an enforcer. The statement highlights ongoing concerns about conflicts of interest and the need for unbiased governance in digital advertising.
