During 2013, I've written a few articles about Mozilla's
attempt to give users greater control over the cookies placed on their
systems, and how the European arm of the Interactive Advertising Bureau
(IAB) tried to paint this as Mozilla "undermining the openness", or "hijacking" the Internet because it dared to stand up for us in this way. That makes this latest revelation from the Snowden treasure-trove of documents, published in the Washington Post, rather important:

A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the incredible spectacle of the European arm of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) attacking Mozilla
on the grounds that the latter had "lost its values" because it

Back in March, I wrote about the odd little attack
by the European arm of the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) on
Mozilla's plans to put control of cookies firmly in the hands of users.
Alas, the IAB seems not to have come to its
senses since then, but has instead doubled down, and launched one of the
most bizarre assaults on Mozilla and the open Web that I have ever
read. I warmly recommend you to read it - I suspect you will find it as
entertaining in its utter absurdity as I do.
