An old saying has it that half of all advertising budgets are wasted—the trouble is, no one knows which half. In the internet age, at least in theory, this fraction can be much reduced. By watching what people search for, click on and say online, companies can aim "behavioral" ads at those most likely to buy.
In the past couple of weeks a quarrel has illustrated the value to advertisers of such fin e-grained information: should advertisers assume that people are happy to be tracked and sent behavioral ads? Or should they have explicit permission?
In December 2010 America’s Federal Trade Commission(FTC)proposed adding a "do not track"(DNT)option to internet browsers, so that users could tell advertisers that they did not want to be followed. Microsoft’ s Internet Explorer and Apple’ s Safari both offer DNT; Google’ s Chrome is due to do so this year. In February the FTC and Digital Advertising Alliance(DAA)agreed that
the industry
would get cracking on responding to DNT requests.
On May 31 st Microsoft set off the row: It said that Internet Explorer 10, the version due to appear in Windows 8, would have DNT as a default.
Advertisers are horrified. Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. Few switch DNT on now, but if tracking is off it will stay off. Bob Liodice, the chief executive of the Association of National Advertisers, one of the groups in the DAA, says consumers will be worse off if the industry cannot collect information about their preferences. "People will not get fewer ads," he says. "They’ 11 get less meaningful, less targeted ads."
It is not yet clear how advertisers will respond. Getting a DNT signal does not oblige anyone to stop tracking, although some companies have promised to do so. Unable to tell whether someone really objects to behavioral ads or whether they are sticking with Microsoft’ s default, some may ignore a DNT signal and press on anyway.
Also unclear is why Microsoft has gone it alone. After all, it has an ad business too, which it says will comply with DNT requests, though it is still working out how. If it is trying to upset Google, which relies almost wholly on advertising,it has chosen an indirect method:there is no guarantee that DNT by default will become the norm. DNT does not seem an obviously huge selling point for Windows 8—though the firm has compared some of its other products favorably with Google’ s on that count before. Brendon Lynch, Microsoft’s chief privacy officer, blogged: "we believe consumers should have more control." Could it really be that simple?
Bob Liodice holds that setting DNT as a default
选项
A、many cut the number of junk ads.
B、fails to affect the ad industry.
C、will not benefit consumers.
D、goes against human nature.
答案
C
解析
细节题。根据关键词Bob Liodice、setting DNT as a default可以定位到第五段。文章最后提 到:如果浏览器开发商不能搜集用户的喜好信息,消费者的境况只会更糟。人们收到的广告并不 会减少,少的是那些有意义、有针对性的广告。也就是说,消费者并不会因此受益,因此选C项。A 项“大大减少垃圾广告”与原文表述相反。B项“不会影响广告行业”原文未提。D项“与人类的天 性相反”是对原文的曲解。
