[quote=moredial;394634]So, does that mean that you have missed all the bits about them changing their name from 121Media - publisher of PeopleOnPage and the malware / rootkits which installed it on the unsuspecting user's computer....

Well excuse me son shine - do your research of these forums and you'll already relise I know all that stuff about them being former black hats - and pointed it out and it got 'poo pooed' so I shut up grumbling about it - just like i did gator years ago.
In Business, it seems you have to make certain 'allowences' for business people/companies (with dosh or clout) to turn over a new leaf - so I deliberably tried to view this debate taking into account what we already know about them i.e their past - most networks probably don't pay much attention to scandal mongering or dramatic spectulation of cookie overwriting - for what it's worth I agree with alot of what you say and wouldn't choose to touch them with a barge pole - purely for the fact people don't have a choice about opting in.
'prawn' traffic and spam take up about 75% of internet usage - so - what I was saying in a round about way - was their will probably be alot of concern by those 75% that their dirty deeds are going to be found out - child safety is not the highest priority on a 'prawn' merchants list - making money is - i don't know why I'm even bothering to explain this - it's like stating the obvious to a spotty teenager - you mess up big time enough often enough you learn to relise that once a crook doesn't mean always a crook - we know sweet FA about their real motive yet are they another 180 solutions ? - if the cookie thing turns out to be true - the networks and agencies here will be the first ones taking them to court - as it their businesses that will be at risk.
