However, experts warn that this could cause delays in how we use many websites."
I think those same 'experts' should be looking at basic web standards. If they and the people who wrote the specs for website designs were more expert in those standards, there would not be so many cookies. |
OMG what a pile of doo doo!! Perhaps if they only thought a bit about the articles they publish (or perhaps if it was not in their interests to support the advertising industry of course)... perhaps they might say "If the public block cookies and slow down/damage the internet service they receive for specific websites, it might be necessary for those websites to think about re-engineering the way they work, so that people are happy to accept their cookies." I have to say it again (sorry)... pile of doo doo!!
The use of DPI and Phorm certainly has the capacity to disrupt much of the basis of the internet

@ SimonHickling
I can't see ANY reason why Kate would suddenly be interested in this stream of journalism either. None of her previous work seems to link with this field. Yes it smacks of "paid for" - IMHO ONLY - willing to hear from her to the contrary but actions speak louder than words and she should consider a broader piece to cover the real issues in full for a quality paper...
