ADVERTISING 72andSunny laid off “less than 5 percent” of its LA staff last week. The MDC Partners shop and Infiniti had just cut ties, less than a year after 72andSunny was hired to handle campaigns for several vehicle launches. DIGITAL DATA Europe’s General Data Protection Regulation had barely taken effect when Austria-based nonprofit None Of Your Business filed complaints against Facebook, Google, Instagram and WhatsApp. NOYB accused the companies of using pop-up “consent boxes” tied to access of the services. They also aim to stop “annoying and obtrusive pop-ups which are used to claim a user’s consent.” U.S.-based companies are hustling to get data consent from users even though the GDRP privacy rules only affect Europeans, to avoid inadvertently violating the rights of EU citizens in this country. But according to a survey by Research Intelligencer and Pollfish, only 30.4% of respondents agreed to the requests immediately. Social video service Twitch is teaming with Poker Central to stream the World Series of Poker. Live, free coverage of over 30 tournaments runs June 2 at 3p through July 14. Starz is launching its StarzPlay OTT service on Amazon Prime Video Channels in the UK and Germany, a year after Amazon first launched Prime there. Subscribers will get new programming the same day U.S. customers do. Amsterdam-based Rooftop Immersive Studio inked a deal with AMC Networks International Southern Europe to aggregate and distribute VR content, a first step toward consolidating a partnership between the two companies. Rooftop Immersive Studio will aggregate VR content on a monthly basis from a variety of genres with a focus on documentaries and factual VR experiences for the brand Odisea / Odisseia.
