At the convention that AdBlock Plus was uninvited from earlier this month, the leader of the Interactive Advertising Bureau, Randall Rothenberg, didn’t hesitate to fire back about why the ticket was returned: “They are stealing from publishers, subverting freedom of the press, operating a business model predicated on censorship of content, and ultimately forcing consumers to pay more money for less — and less diverse — information. AdBlock Plus claims it wants to engage in dialogue. But its form of dialogue is an incessant monologue.” Rothenberg says AdBlock Plus was not invited to the convention, and their registration was canceled when IAB learned of it.
