This was inevitable.
That's why I bought Google stock after they got into Android, as Android makes it possible for Google to now step in & protect against the MITTM attacks by ISP's blocking their ads. The OS gets the final word before it displays content to the user & it can detect & block these.
Now, they just have to deploy the fix to Android...
- grecy 14y agoAnd what happens when Google are the one doing the MITTM attack? It all comes down to who do you trust.
- marshray 14y agoHas Google ever modified other websites' pages like this?
- baseh 14y agoYes, I believe they call it Adsense.
- marshray 14y agohttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AdSense "How AdSense works (1) The webmaster inserts the AdSense JavaScript code into a webpage." So this is the webmaster modifying his own page. It's not Google injecting Javascript into someone else's page like CMA Communications or Comcast is said to be doing.
