On the Web, Children Face Intensive Tracking
theodp writes "In the latest installment of their online privacy investigation, the Wall Street Journal reports that children face intensive tracking on the web, finding that popular children's websites install more tracking technologies on personal computers than do the top websites aimed at adults. In an analysis of 50 sites popular with US teens and children, the WSJ found that Google — whose execs recently lectured parents on online child safety — placed the most tracking files overall."
What the fuck is wrong with you?
Grammar nazis are to this community what excrements are to gold.
I say the same about ALL marketing pukes. seriously, they should be ashamed of how they make a living. they are paid liars, when it comes down to it, plain and simple.
almost anything else is more honorable than being in sales or marketing.
such a waste of a human brain.

This is the problem the EU wants to ban all cookies so they can kill advertising run by Google.
Basically they want to kill google the same way they want to kill microsoft and its because they can't control the best companies in tech with their socialism
Without a cookie Advertisers can not be given views and click counts.
However banning all cookies means shopping carts and online web aps wont work anymore.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND IT THE BAN ARE STUPID
Its all about money to them and nothing to do about protecting kids.
You better bet that every ISP in europe and the world for that matter is using a transparent Squid Server that logs every dialup, cable modem, fios connection and they use that data along with their IP logs to link all useage to a specific home or connection...
They know every file you download... every site you visit... every torrent you connect to..
This is not about protecting kids
