Re: What about Google?

said by funchords:

An acceptable system wouldn't work that way. It should be your choice whether any third party gets the chance to peer into your traffic.
So you have proof that NebuAD is more than just a google ads technology. From what I read, you do have the option to opt out. It's just cookies, not the end of the world. Does anyone have the specs of these servers, or is the whole NebuAD debate pure opinion, and he said she said?

You can opt-out any time that you like, but your ISP still sends every byte you see and send to them, regardless.

ACCORDING TO NEBUAD, you are only opting out of seeing targeted ads and NebuAd storing data about you. There is no mechanism to prevent your ISP from sending the data to this 3rd party with connections to Gator.

By the looks of your name, it seems that you have taken a position without looking at any facts -- then you took this opportunity to try to make a fool out of me.

NebuAd has responded and they have not contradicted the facts in my report. They, of course, don't agree with the general characterizations, and even injected some of their own mischaracterizations, but the essential facts are not in dispute.

In late 2007, they were using the Juniper E120. The specs are available on the intertubes.
