   @maxine@social.mootech.eu That also why the "adblocking is piracy" argument does not hold up at all.
   
   It's my computer; I get to choose what requests I allow or deny.

     I just realized a good argument against computer ads.

     Contrary to regular ads, it is actually using your resources (your power, time on the CPU you bought, etc)

     So, shouldn't ad companies paying you money for displaying their ads? Like they pay billboard owners or news paper owners, etc.

     So until then, using ad block is just preventing theft.
