Comment on Facebook doesn't like privacy countermeasures

Comments

It's the visitor's choice to visit a webpage. It's the developer's choice to choose widgets. Do you really think it's fair to say, "I want to use your widget, FB, which happens through your servers, and I want to use them my way without your consent." The default option (not choosing the widget) is always fair.

My point is that to make such widgets illegal, widgets that service three consenting parties, is completely retarded.

I take that back. If people don't understand the natural laws of the Internet, it may stand to reason that blocking widgets is a matter of national security.

However, I think a better approach is to educate each other on how the Internet works, so that blanket measures can be avoided.
