FTC Bars Popup Backdoor Ads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the i'm-your-backdoor-ad dept.

zanderredux was one of several readers to note that the FTC has banned backdoor popups. This is the result of the D Squared case that we've heard a bit about in the past. The case also restricted them from sending IM ads as well.

    Although marketers regard pop-ups as one of the most effective ways of advertising online, many surfers find them hugely annoying.

    neither does yours. My point was that posts like that shouldn't get modded informative.

    Actually, I AM an American, with a concealed hand gun permit. And I carry. I also work for the us military, the same military that I served with, helping them defend this country so id10ts like YOU can call people like me names like the one you did.

    If I were to come to your level, which I won't because I wear shoes to keep from getting myself dirty while steping on your puny head, I would be able to use "colorful" words to describe your intelegence.

    And, if you were even half as intelegent as you wish me to believe, you would notice that my nic has the abreviation of a state. How many europeans in this country are proud of the state they live in?
    all I have to say to the Mods is "Score away!"
