If blocking ads won't be possible anymore then I'll just pirate everything. And jailbreaking TVs and other hardware.
and if you think its not gonna get so much worse with ai able to generate 10x the ad variants... or maybe even personalized ad versions.(one day, probably too expensive now)
good thing its never been easier to hack everything, maybe we can also figure out how to hack the legal system enough to make shady stuff like recording you in your house a felony. i feel like we should start with making it so that terms in a eula cant bind you to take specific actions. inal but in the case of 2p consent states if you go to your friends house and he doesnt tell you that his tv's eula said that it'll be recording all the time then he's in trouble, but the company actually doing the recording.. scott free because they said in the eula it was the responsibility of the owner to tell everyone who comes near the tv it might be recording. ...why would you ever click that agreement that you were forced to click to use the thing that you already bought and setup, what is the actual recourse for not saying yes? go return the tv and pay the restock fee? idk that doesnt sound like a reasonable contract/agreement that should ever be enforcable. which would mean its actually the tv companies doing all the wiretapping in 2p states...
hmm.. i know im wrong in many ways but i can dream that the law could be actually reasonable.
I have been watching a bit of prime video and getting ads for cars, baby diapers and gambling sites, all things I have zero interest in buying lol. I've not had a car in 10 years and I'm single and don't even buy lottery tickets. I keep sites isolated a lot in Firefox containers but Amazon of course has my purchase history there (there aren't many other ecommerce options left around here) so I'm surprised they don't have me figured out. But I'm glad.
I'm not really sure about the legal system but I'm in Europe, it's a lot more restrictive for that kind of stuff.
