So the CEO of online ads giant IAB made a pretty… remarkable speech, saying:
"These extremists (referring to privacy advocates) are political opportunists who’ve made it their mission to cripple the advertising industry and eliminate it from the American economy and culture."
And this, friends, is our mission statement RIGHT THERE.
Of course our ambition shouldn’t be limited to the US.
Burning the online advertising industry to the ground needs to be a global undertaking.
@slothrop ahem, "burning the advertising industry to the ground..."
Advertising doesn't suddenly become evil because it's online.
@markhughes It's not evil because it's online, it's evil because it's advertising.
@markhughes @slothrop when ads are just printed it can be read, thought about and either used or dismissed. When it's online it isn't just there, it is spyware and that is without doubt *always* evil. No exception.
Yes: Needs to burn, including their associates.
