Google?s Good Advertising Standards

Media companies have always had a complex relationship with consumer protection. On one hand, they want to protect consumers from harm, but on the other, advertising butters their bread. Thus historically, media companies have opposed product safety, truth-in-advertising, and even the incredibly popular Telemarketing Do-Not-Call Registry. They have argued that consumers are best protected in the marketplace of ideas, one where consumers will read news about the risks of products or scams and make smart decisions for themselves.
This, of course, doesn?t work, because there are far more economic incentives to spread bad instead of good ideas. ... More >Wifi Hacker Software Pencil Pen
