UK regulator orders Google to disclose AI search click data

The UK's Competition and Markets Authority has issued Google with a conduct requirement that will force it to disclose substantial data on AI search, including clicks, flagged by Lidia Infante. Google will have to provide impressions and clicks disaggregated from other search features, surfaced in a widely available platform such as Google Search Console, with AI clicks made trackable on-site so their quality can be assessed.

Meta Pixel begins automatically collecting nine new web data signals from 30 May

Felipe Vergara Cediel has flagged that, from 30 May, the Meta Pixel automatically collects nine additional categories of web data: basic page information, multimedia content, business contact and location details, event and journey data, content classification, authorship, product and entity identification, product and entity attributes, and reviews, ratings, and prices. Matias Axel Ramayo added that Meta is also surfacing signals on how much is being wasted due to low-quality events sent through the API and Pixel.
