I am deeply disappointed, but ultimately not surprised, at the lengths advertising companies will go to to make a dollar more.
The "choices" the typical consumer has if they want to make themselves somewhat anonymous to advertisers are frankly awful. At the moment the only kind of official controls are very limited and not respected or even fully functional with all companies.
The self regulation of the industry is appalling and should be replaced with an international committee of advertising that finds a balance between people's privacy and the right of advertising companies and developers to make money. At the moment, this three way relationship is skewed very heavily towards the advertising companies, meaning the two people who are really the most important - the consumer and the developer - are getting a rotten deal.
Oh, capitalism, how I love you.
