by opening the website, that data HAS left the origin server and is sent to my browser. What i do with that data is up to me. i choose to ignore half of it so be it. Is there a mandate that i have to "hold it the right way only" like apple famously did with their antennagate?

This is the best argument. If they send me an exploit it isn’t expected for me to run it blindly because of some unwritten contract, right? Once the payload is sent to me it is my right to execute it as I wish. That is the unwritten contract.
