Is it immoral to use an adblocker? Many sites present extensive UI interruptions in the hopes that you will allow their ads. Is it immoral to browse with Javascript disabled? Does morality require foreign code to run on your local system in order for these intrusive elements to actively manipulate (and potentially exploit) you? Is it immoral to rewrite a url in such a way that access is allowed?
See: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16906571 In the days of newsprint, ads might have been garish, but they were bound into the media and they could not track you. Advertising now involves so much more surveillance, that I think the majority of the immorality is not with the end user. ps I have upvoted you. |
