I love how you people always find new ways of wording shit to gain some moral superiority. Can't wait for the logical conclusion, "Netflix's servers are heating up the planet while processing my request; I DO NOT CONSENT TO THIS!! Thus my piracy is for the good of the land".

If sites warned that they will load trackers beforehand, your accusation would make sense: people could just not enter the site.

But as it stands, even if you're willing to forgo using such sites, you have to load trackers to know that the site uses them. So an adblocker/anti-tracker is a necessary protection.

> wording shit

The head of the first French TV channel himself bragged that "his job was to sell available brain time".

The only thing you'll achieve with that attitude is convincing people that there's no point in slowing down or talking things over.

You got me. Gaining moral superiority is what I was after.

Well so far I've lived fairly well, being "involuntarily invaded" by art for instance, so I'm not sure I see merit in the invasion argument.

On the the other hand if you're complaining about the shady manipulations going on behind the scenes to fuel the data driven marketing and advertising schemes then sure you have a point.

You consent to go to the website that has ads on it.

On the other hand, you don't consent to seeing a billboard whilst on public roads, so I don't think I'd object to people "defending themselves" (whatever that looks like) from billboards.
