I have a huge amount of respect for Marco but this decision makes no sense to me. Was he afraid of hurting journalist friends and losing invites to the hottest media parties around NYC? Or pissing off other friends and ex-colleagues who now work at analytics and optimization companies? I hate to be a cynic but that's how his post read to me - this launch had cast a personal shadow that he didn't want to deal with. Some % of users don't want to be tracked and they downloaded an app to stop it. It's not like he removed the Safari API that enabled this. Now that Peace is gone, it will just be replaced by other similar apps, likely from far less scrupulous authors (such as ABP with their ''acceptable ads'').
