IMO, the technical mechanisms are irrelevant. the ethical questions easily map to a face-to-face interaction.

Yes. In a face-to-face interaction, if the other party is sneezing and coughing and spraying mucus on your face, it is not unethical to wear a surgical mask. There is no moral or ethical requirement to inhale someone else's possibly virus-laden mucus just because you want to have a conversation.

I don't believe they do map that easily - in a face to face interaction I'm not enabling your advertising with my bandwidth and my rendering device.
