Google isn't defining anything unilaterally - the Coalition for Better Ads is.

- hackuser 10y agoYes, but there are probably other standards that Google's ads don't meet, and Google isn't using those.
- sooheon 10y agoLike tracking of user data.
- ethics_gradient 10y agoIs this sarcastic?
- rmc 10y agoThat's an industry body from big advertisers, like Google. I'm pretty sure "Don't store user data" isn't included in that "standard"
- freehunter 10y agoWhat we need is a Sarbanes-Oxley for the Internet. If you track users and store their data, you have to be Internet-SOX compliant to prove you're handling it in a responsible way. Especially with the anti-fraud protections on credit cards these days, storing PII and browsing history is a lot more dangerous than a credit card breach.
