Is it moral to conflate "advertisement" with code running on my device without my express permission? Tracking my behavior across the web? Selling their profiles to entities with which I have no direct connection? Dog wagging by changing what I see across sites to get better conversion rates?

Doing what I can to prevent all that doesn't present me with any moral quandary. Advertisers certainly don't follow any sort of moral imperative.

Advertising is not inherently bad but modern web advertising is ridiculous.
