There's an interesting criticism of this over here: http://thehill.com/blogs/congress-blog/technology/219717-ftc...

  If it had been published by an advocacy group, [the article]  
  would have simply been the latest in an unending series of 
  baseless, pseudo-scientific attacks on online advertising 
  over imagined harms. But coming from the chief technologist 
  of the advertising industry’s primary regulator and
  enforcement agency, the post takes on a far more coercive
  tone.


Love the ads on that blog :-)

I think the FTC makes a valid point, and the interesting topic of discussion, I realize though that they don't argue that advertisers in say, Gourmet, don't really target people going to Walmart.
