> And then, who gets to run those servers? Even if it’s not Google, it’s probably not just anyone, right? Does that lead to a situation where there’s some authority or group of authorities that decides whether you or your startup gets to track users? And would you suppose it would be free for anyone to join this list of approved advertisers? Or might there be a fee, or some conditions to apply?
This is how DNS, the IP address system, and the gTLD/ccTLD registrar list works, and it works just fine.
- dceddia 6y agoMaybe this is just my cynicism shining through, but I'm not sure I trust Google, or really most modern companies, to create something that wouldn't mainly be for their own benefit.
- colordrops 6y agoYou don't really need to couch your statement with "Maybe this is just my cynicism" considering the daily news stories for years about the sociopathic behavior of many companies including google. It's absurd that anyone even defends these monstrosities let alone attacks anyone that suggests they are not trustworthy.
