Advertisers May Face Ridicule For Adware

An anonymous reader writes "A ZDNet article reports that the FTC may be gearing up to humiliate companies that advertise via adware." From the article: "The FTC would publicly announce and publish the name of a company that advertises using adware that installs itself surreptitiously on consumer PCs or using spyware, Leibowitz said. He would recommend publicly shaming advertisers to the other FTC commissioners if the adware problem doesn't decrease, he said."

What difference?

Let's face it, what difference would this list make? Would you bother to read it? And what would you to the companys in the list? Boycott everyone?

I find it easier trying to stay out of the adware itself :)
