It's a good thing I obscure where Google ends up by default

  Google obscures where ads end up by default, a practice that has come under scrutiny.
  So @craigsilverman and Ruth Talbot cracked open that black box, identifying 70% of those confidential sites. It turns out Google is sending ad revenue to publishers of porn, pirated content, and more.
  Great investigation from our friends at @ProPublica.
