You are not obligated to buy anything you disapprove of
You're still missing the crux of the matter. You can't disapprove of something you don't know about.
In addition (Slightly OT, but related), there are many people who do disapprove, but have to have access to a product/service in order to do their job. The only way to protect them is regulation.
Regarding the job example -- the employer is also a human being, and if they want to get that TV they may. If you disapprove of that, you don't have to work there. Either way, best if you keep your private conversations out of the office.
True. I suppose that the people asking for more regulation (myself included in this instance) would mostly just like for those laws to actually have teeth in this sort of situation. Unfortunately, lawmakers/enforcers mostly fall in the "not knowing" category.
Also, my apologies if I came across as overly combative, that was not my intention.

Unfortunately, many people do not have the option to drop a job and find a better work environment. I have some other views on this, but that would be OT for this thread.
> Either way, best if you keep your private conversations out of the office.
Definitely agree on that.
Well, it sounds like the regulation you might want is something that oDot could also live with: a requirement for full disclosure and clear labeling, but not a ban on anything.
