I will either opt out of this or stop using Adsense, I think. I don’t particularly want Google to display ads to me based on the sites I have been visiting. OK, I buy books, but that doesn’t mean I want to see more advertising for them. And I visit a lot of sites based on what I happen to be translating. As for the effect on visitors to my site, it could be just as irrelevant to them, to say nothing of the invasion of privacy.
No good will come of this: when they take them down the British government will surely fall.
I wondered why Gordon Brown had been having such a hard time.
