Controls should bear the liability, and publishers should reject their ads. Are stakeholders adopting reasonable best practices and controls, in your view . Today that information does not suggest they are doing that. One of the challenges is reluctance to share information among each other. It is isolated now. Again, are recognizing that there is no perfect security in the absence of taking reasonable steps to protect the infrastructure and consumers from harm they should be responsible. How Many Americans do you think know that this problem exists . This information has been kept very quiet. Its been suppressed over years. The executives of some trade organizations have denied it exists publically. We just saw an example of that disputing the malvertising facts. Where did you get them since they dont share your view .

We do not want the situation to deteriorate even further because that would compromise our interest even more. Democrats and the american all understand that there is a certain amount that we have to make sure that we do particularly because we unfortunately in the Previous Administration got fully engaged in iraq and went to war in a country under false pretenses.
