Ads in general should be considered malware. They have adware and spyware components and both types of software used to be detected and removed by anti-malware software. Apparently a few lines in the terms of service nobody reads is all it takes to legitimize this abusive software. Because users have "agreed" to be subjected to malware, their use of content blockers somehow becomes immoral.
