We’re dropping Google Ads

Let's separate morality and legality. Morality is relative to your beliefs and values. Legality is common to all.

It's illegal to steal physical property (payment transfers ownership of property). It's not illegal to not look at something.

Speaking of which, I really want to write a real life ad blocker with a HoloLens or whatever AR equipment becomes popular in the future. Replace all the billboards with cat pictures.

Coming soon to a congress/senate near you : adblockers are now illegal. Why ?

Because media appear to control a decent proportion of voters and can make or break political candidates.

I'd much rather have the next few lines from whatever book I'm reading. Might as well replace it with something worth while
