Tech Hypocracy
from the money-makes-the-decisions-so-much-easier dept
Two stories that came out Monday that were interesting to me were AOL backing off their calls for opening up cable, and DoubleClick's new "privacy" program. I wasn't sure about posting news about either because they were so widely covered by other publications. However, this column discusses both in the context of the hypocracy that goes on within tech companies these days. This is definitely worth reading. It's a side of the technology world that's rarely discussed.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
