The Advertisers are Watching You
pcause noted that the New York Times is running a story about the information being collected about you by internet advertisers. Of course much of this is not news to you, but it's important that the mainstream media is more aware of the issues surrounding this.
Cue the 47 "but I use AdBlock" posts that have to appear in every single goddamned Slashdot story that has anything to do remotely with web advertising. Or the web in general.
Yes, yes, we all get it, we all know AdBlock exists, now shut up and let's have an actual discussion.
