Do you think using deep packet inspection for behavioural advertising is necessary? I don't like it, I think it's an invasion of privacy, but we live in a world where anything legal can be done. As long as they are allowed, companies will do it — because otherwise they would be crazy not to. In the US, we have separate carriers and content. The carrier is not supposed to touch the content. In the US DPI is an extremely bad can of worms." Lots more interesting comment at the link. | ||
