“It’s unclear what Haim’s current role is with DingIt, as he opened but did not reply to two emails from BuzzFeed News. Visser opened but did not reply to an email.”

I find it odd that they would report on “opens”. Particularly in an article about how tracking / verification technology is so easily duped.

There is a big difference between a tracking pixel image in an email that's only delivered to a single inbox vs the vast environment of the open web with all the various websites and ads that run.

Same, I thought that sounded kind of hypocritical.
