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.

Apparently, Apple also is an anti-advertising extremist. That´s a bit of a pity. I feel much less avant-garde now.

@sqrt2 @slothrop the whole text really feels like he's flailing, trying to blame everyone for IAB's failures.
