Any person's web (or print) reading and purchasing preferences should not be mined for advertising unless the web (or print) user gives explicit permission. This notion that I have to say 'no' or else it is okay is nonsense; the default position should be that the web (or print) user's privacy is respected and therefore has to explicitly grant permission for use of such data.

This may be the next "horizon" for us. Catalog Choice has become a huge success in the two years that I've been using it. Maybe consumers can have the same impact on web tracking.
