Re:Google paid AdBlock Plus to get its ads whitelisted on Saturday July 06, 2013 @02:16AM (#5998141)
Funny that people would focus on google in this case. It seems to me adblock plus is the culprit here. First it gained a much significant footprint, then added the whole "acceptable ads" concept, then got paid by advertisers to be whitelisted.

Seems like adblock plus is abusing its position of power to extort money and doesn't care about the user.

You said advertising can be unethical at times. Can you illustrate your point with an example of advertising being ethical ?
