Check the weather, peruse the latest sports scores, find out if that sweater you fell in love with has finally gone on sale. Chances are you've done at least one of these things today online and none of it would be possible without digital advertising. The Internet has quickly transformed our daily activities, giving us access to anything and everything with a click. And just as quickly, it could go away.
The recent and ill-informed calls for a national "Do Not Track" list, a theoretical mechanism to stop online data collection, might resonate with the public because of the apparent resemblance to the National Do Not Call Registry, but the two are similar in name only. You cannot simply turn off the data exchanges between parties that allow you to, for example, navigate from one website to another. Stop that sharing and you put a stop to the Internet as we know it.
BS.(BULLSHIT)
the internet as we know it now is consuming a massive
amount of bandwidth
that WE PAY FOR and a massive amount of electricity
that WE PAY FOR because of all
of the marketing companies constantly tracking our every
move and our every key press while we
are connected to the internet.
these fart sniffers sell everything that we do to the
highest bidder.
but we pay for it with the slower connections and slower
browsing times and basically any thing that we try to do
while connected to the internet not to mention the cash that
WE PAY TO THE ISP's and the ELECTRIC COMPANIES.
I know for a fact that all of this fart sniffin is not
necessary for a company to advertise its products on the
internet.
and they know that they can make you think that a product
is better than another product if they bombard you with a
certain product brand ...
so any idiot that claims that do not track laws would put
an end to the internet is simply protecting his financial
interest in your data that he is collecting and selling or profiting from it in some manner.
if only someone would make a program that deletes all cookies
as soon as they are written to a computers hard drive.
or sends them to the FTC as they arrive.
this way the FTC can have insight on the volume of
3rd party cookies that each web site is installing on
each computers harddrive in real time and can calculate
the amount of internet bandwidth and electricity that these
fart sniffin marketers are stealing from the public as the
public attempts to use the internet.
