hypnosec writes "In its latest attempt to stop Mozilla from going ahead with its proposed default blocking of third-party cookies in Firefox, the Interactive Advertising Bureau took out a full page ad urging users to stop 'Mozilla from hijacking the Internet.' Through the advert, IAB has claimed that the Firefox maker wants to be the 'judge and jury' when it comes to business models on the web. According to the IAB, Mozilla wants to eliminate the cookies which enable online advertisers to reach the right audience. IAB notes that 'If cookies are eliminated, it is clear to us that consumers will get a less relevant and diverse Internet experience.'"

And don't forget, that information goes straight to the government as well. And in a few years, when dildos are declared an illegal vice item ex post factor, the government will expose you as a pervert if you dare publicly complain about your 80% Obama-tax rate put in place during his forth consecutive term after he leads the military intelligence coup. For your own good, citizen.
