Yes, visiting a website is a form of doing business with the entity that runs that website. Especially in today's advertisement-centric web, visiting provides advertising revenue, and supports the entity running the website.
- denton-scratch 4y agoNo. The site is supported by its advertisers, not the visitors. If the site is selling something, and the visitor buys something, then the visitor is "doing business". Reading text that is published at zero charge isn't "doing business".
- MereInterest 4y ago"Supporting", "paying", and "doing business with" are all very different concepts. At the ISP level, it is even clearer than at the individual level. The ISP is passing traffic through from an entity, based on a business relationship, either direct or transitive, with that entity.
