It's obvious that its scumbag advertisers and Google (maybe I'm repeating myself here) behind this. They want a way to track every user and all their behaviors. They want things like these to either not exist or be disabled by default. They live for all the user data they can gather. This also means they are available for law enforcement and any other party with interest to gather that data, now and in the future.
It's already starting to bother me. I'm seeing these advertisements here on Slashdot too. Aft
How did a post from an obvious Microsoft shill received +5 Interesting moderation?
Signs for a Microsoft shill: - Very long first post - The only post by the user ever (rarely followed by one-two additional responses) - Very clear and strong anti-Google or pro-Microsoft message
We really want the shill to get away from Slashdot (maybe the company management doesn't, but the users do). Moderators, please always recognize the shills before modding up, and mod them down into oblivion. We also need a new moderation: -
Something fishy is going on, the obvious shill is modded up, while any attempt to object is immediately labelled as trolling. I guess it's time to move on from shillsdot.org to some other place.

The most important sign: huge message posted at the exact same minute as the story.
Seriously people, are you blind?
