    It’s important to note that blocking ads is NOT theft. Don’t fall for this creepy idea, which is the criminalisation of the inalienable right to privacy.

    Beautifully written.

      I have a cousin who works deeply in advertising and marketing infrastructure. He’s a code guru who helped to build advertising engines for Facebook and now works deeply in the industry. He has told me to my face that my efforts to delete ads from my life is stealing from him. Coincidentally he uses Linux and a suite of privacy and security products to hide his identity. Rules for thee but not for me.
