So the CEO of online ads giant IAB made a pretty… remarkable speech, saying:

"These extremists (referring to privacy advocates) are political opportunists who’ve made it their mission to cripple the advertising industry and eliminate it from the American economy and culture."

And this, friends, is our mission statement RIGHT THERE.

@rysiek Someone put up the text on Google Docs:

Apparently, Apple also is an anti-advertising extremist. That´s a bit of a pity. I feel much less avant-garde now.

@slothrop @rysiek Worth noting Apples hypocrisy here as they have their own ad systems in some places.

Not that I’m arguing against the main point or a anything.

I’m a Apple user, and happy that they are less shitty in some ways, but still worth mentioning.

@torb @slothrop @rysiek Apple isn’t against ads, just open the App Store and see for yourself how absolutely awful an experience that is…

@jramskov That’s exactly the hypocrisy I’m pointing out.

@torb It is frustrating that they have decided to ruin their own products.
