Host Dustin Howes sits down with Ben Edelman, Dan Sweeney, and Madeline Kaufman Sullivan to discuss the allegations surrounding Phia's affiliate tracking practices and their potential impact on the affiliate marketing industry.

The panel breaks down claims that Phia's iOS Safari extension opened hidden tabs, triggered affiliate links without user clicks, and may have generated unearned commissions. They examine the technical differences between the Safari and Chrome extensions, discuss cookie overwriting, possible remedies such as commission reversals, and why stronger transparency and industry standards are needed to protect merchants, affiliates, and consumers.
