On unwelcome advertising

Sir John Gapper in "Advertisers will see you read this", August 14, describes very well how the advertisers wish to obtain more and better information on our habits and how this could intrude on our rights to privacy.

That said let us also not forget there are occasions when it is the website or the user who wishes to be identified better so as to avoid the messages or the publicity they do not want to see.

In Venezuela, a radical anti-U.S. website, but that still wish to generate some advertising income, because of its name revolves around "sovereignty", frequently attracts recruitment ads for the U.S. Marines. I supposed this must be of extreme nuisance to the owner of the site.
