I believe ads on a website are free speech. If I want to put ads on my site it's MY site. Feel free to block the ads or also feel free to just not visit but, with rare exceptions, I don't won't some regulation about what content I can put on MY site.
Separately, I'm less against regulation that bans sharing data but I don't know where to draw the line. It seems reasonable for me to keep logs on my site. It seems reasonable to ask my friend Brenda who's way better at statistics than me to use my logs to tell me insights about my site. Brenda starts an LLC or Corp and now suddenly there's regulations? You could say, "well, Brenda can't share it" but in the same way, Brenda might ask Jill who has better knowledge in certain areas of statistics to help out. And so the chain grows.
- ohgodplsno 5y agoYou're not just putting ads your site. If that was the case, selling banner ads would be fine. What you are doing is forcing me into a worldwide tracking network that would make the Stasi's wet dreams look like nothing. So, no, it's not free speech, it's you personally attacking every single user.
