Who gave them permission to insert the cookies into our traffic in the first place? Hopefully whatever net neutrality law passes, bans carriers from interfering

Who gave them permission to insert the cookies into our traffic in the first place? Hopefully whatever net neutrality law passes, bans carriers from interfering in such a way with the user's traffic or from tracking the users in any other way.
- seanp2k2 12y agoPretty sure they were going with the "beg for forgiveness" option. They certainly have enough money and lawyers to go do whatever they want in the name of profit.

- jakevn 12y agoWere the ad to pose a security risk, and you, a paying user of Gmail would have no way to opt out, then sure.
- 001sky 12y agoEverything that tracks you is a security risk...the only question is whose security are we talking about? The plebeian masses don't deserve security...but the corporate overlords sure as hell need it. What do you think keeps them in power/?
