It's a cesspool out there and publications looking for the easiest way to convert readers to dollars have proven willing to splash around in it under the assumption they'll always be able to blame the foul odors on their ad partners. 'Zero trust.' That sounds like an accurate court of the trust most online advertisers have earned. To that end, as OMB finalizes its recently released draft Federal Zero Trust Strategy, detailing the specific actions that OMB is requiring federal agencies to take to secure their systems from hackers, I urge OMB to also require agencies to implement the CISA and NSA guidance to block ads. While the intelligence community has acted to protect its personnel and computers from malvertising based threats, many other federal agencies have not, and are unlikely to until they are required to do so. The letter, written by Senator Ron Wyden, suggests the rest of the federal government follow the NSA's lead and implement 'network-based ad-blocking technologies' at all federal agencies. The IC, which also includes the parts of the FBI, DEA, and DHS, and various DoD elements, has deployed ad-blocking technology on a wide scale, according to a copy of a letter sent by Congress and shared with Motherboard. Intelligence Community (IC) are also blocking ads potentially for the same sorts of reasons. It turns out, the NSA, CIA, and other agencies in the U.S. Lots of people who use ad blockers say they do it to block malicious ads that can sometimes hack their devices or harvest sensitive information on them. The spyingest agencies of the Intelligence Community don't just suggest employees should use ad blockers. And it should, although it really shouldn't be a trailing indicator on abusive ad deployment. When i go to a website and my computer fan turns on, thatвЂ™s how i know itвЂ™s a good website Enjoy this shade thrown at ad saturation and website design overcompensation: The general public definitely knows this. They can compromise systems and hijack browsers. The end user of sites seems to be the last concern for ad brokers and the people who sell to them, so it's no surprise more people are deploying ad blockers, seeing as readers of even supposedly-reputable sites have been hit with malware, spyware, and auto-playing video when just trying to access some content.ДЄds can be dangerous. Everyone collects reams of data on every site visitor.

Other ad companies get purchased by ad pushers with more malleable morals. If it bleeds, it leads, the old saying goes, but now it refers to readers' processing power and data allotments.ДЇar too many online publications consider processing the check on the ad buy to be the end of their responsibility. If they're bent out of shape about it, it's because they assault users with ads, burying content behind a wall of uncurated virtual salesmen. And no matter how much online publications claim ad blocking is the same thing as stealing, it really isn't.
