Comments on: Ad industry groups agree to privacy guidelines

Four trade groups, including the IAB, assemble a set of self-guiding principles for maintaining consumer privacy in connection with targeted advertisements.

I honestly don't see the big fuss over behavioral advertising.
To be perfectly honest, i PREFER it over the usual static method.

I don't care about drinks, i don't care about music that much either, nor do i care about mobiles (phones), and so on.
But i do care about computers, technology in general, gaming, electronics, housing, blah blah.
I'd rather have advertising that is specific to me rather than something i don't like, or outright hate.
It is why i visit this site. If i didn't like it, why would i be here?

I love it when sites let you choose what interests you so the ads will be more interesting, such a good idea.

Obviously the only reason people dislike this is because they don't want their significant others knowing they visit porn, or any illegal sites.
I don't care to be honest, everyone i know know my interests, know which sites i visit and they accept it. Why lie to people?

You must be one of those ones that visit porn and illegal sites!

As if this will make any difference at all. YAWN. I pay no attention to the ad spam that manages to creep past my ad blockers anyway.
