Ahhh. Remember when this was just a Flash problem, and getting rid of Flash was going to rid the world of evil?

Spoiler: that didn't happen.

Things like this happened with flash but you had no control over them since flash was all or nothing and closed source.
I agree with that (technical person's) perspective, but that was not the mainline argument. Steve Jobs got on stage and said it was a hunk of battery wasting crap that invaded your privacy. I'm saying you can make that case regardless of your platform de jour.
