@Unixbigot @freakboy3742 I repeat, once more: the existence of a profitable business model does not mean we should confer legitimacy, or legality, on that business. (See also: child pornography, illegal narcotics.) That's a policy decision that should be considered in light of social policy and the commonweal. I do not believe Google's (or Twitter's, or FB's) ad revenue is a net positive for the public realm: on the contrary, I think they're toxic and I'd like to see them banned.
