Daisuke Wakabayashi / New York Times:
Google plans to bring Privacy Sandbox to Android, preserving its Ad ID system for two years, and says it'll be less disruptive than ATT for advertisers and devs — It says it will give other companies plenty of time to adapt to changes to its Android software. Similar changes made by Apple affected big internet companies.

Jackson Richman / Mediaite: Chris Cuomo Reportedly Privately Denying Sexual Assault Allegation, Claiming He'll Demand an Apology from CNN and Jeff Zucker
Jodi Kantor / @jodikantor: It is so historically significant that both Cuomo brothers were felled after eerily similar— almost parallel— accusations from young women in the workplace. Last night, we were able to fully report this for the first time: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Naima Cochrane / @naima: This is TV drama mess: Cuomo's suspension was initially about his brother, then a sexual assault allegation comes in, hence his firing, then the ppl investigating Cuomo decide to look at Zucker's moves, which included a secret relationship the CMO... https://www.nytimes.com/...

Tanzina Vega / @tanzinavega: Here's my take on this. 1. These reporters were probably going to scream if one of them wasn't included. (Big names here). 2. CNN is a story not bc of the affair but bc of Cuomo connex and bc of its size and influence in the 16 election. https://twitter.com/...
S. Mitra Kalita / @mitrakalita: A line cut from a recent piece I did: “McDonald's, a much more ubiquitous brand with revenues 10 times those of CNN, had a CEO who resigned after an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate but we hardly had the reams of analyses and eulogies as this situation” https://twitter.com/...

Moira Donegan / @moiradonegan: When Jeff Zucker left CNN, purportedly over his failure to disclose a consensual relationship with a subordinate, commentators both in & outside the network blamed a post-MeToo culture of puritanical censoriousness.

Jodi Kantor / @jodikantor: Our story lays out the evidence for this claim, including messages between Cuomo and the woman, including from before the CNN segment, and friends and colleagues who say she told them parts (not all) of the story.
Jodi Kantor / @jodikantor: Late last year, after he was suspended, CNN got a lawyer's letter on behalf of a Jane Doe, accusing Cuomo of assaulting her years earlier- and then using his position at CNN to discourage her from coming forward.
Jodi Kantor / @jodikantor: Chris Cuomo denied this allegation through his rep (but would not elaborate on the denial... is he saying that none of this happened? That it was consensual?) He also points out that CNN did not investigate before firing him.
Jodi Kantor / @jodikantor: Which is a key point: it's now clear that both Cuomo brothers, governor and anchor, face sexual misconduct violations from women who were far more junior in the workplace.
