Unblock ads to give up Privacy and Security? No way!
(from one of my Google Buzz posts)
I'm replying to the Ars Technica article about blocking ads: http://arst.ch/g8o
Listen, we ad blockers have a reason to ad-block: Privacy and Security. Remember when The New York Times bought ads from a super cheap Internet ad agency that actually put malware in the ads?
Not only that, tracking pixels are everywhere and some people don't trust them, blocking them gives that next level of privacy and security that they aren't being monitored the whole time.
It's obviously not that we want to hurt your revenue (though you make it seem like so with this article) It's our privacy and security that we want to protect. I have not gotten a single major virus ever since I started ad blocking.
If this is a round about marketing tactic, shame on you Ars Technica for trying to brainwash the smart to give up their ad blockers.
Edit (March 22): See? Nowhere is safe when it comes to banner ads... Especially if the server gets hacked into.
Thank goodness for Adblock. Again, shame on you Ars Technica.
