It’s already illegal in some form. Via piracy of the works and regurgitating protected data.

The issue is mega Corp with many rich investors vs everyone else. If this were some university student their life would probably be ruined like with what happened to Aaron Swartz.

The US justice system is different for different people.

Yeah and a couple of things:

Malware has directly passed through as networks multiple times and neither the server of ads nor the ad network were able to be held responsible for it.

Right now it is common for ads to show apps that look like something popular but deploy malware. Nobody is taking responsibility for any of it. Ad networks aren’t well policed.

It is irresponsible for a user not to block ads IMO but I also get to decide what packets of data traverse my network just like any other person or company. As a consumer I do not have to be responsible or care if a business model succeeds or not.

Just do in what I do. Don’t join meetings most of the time. That way when you do it is noteworthy to the meeting stakeholder.

Yeah sure my manglers through the years try to have ‘the talk’ but after awhile of training them via sheer apathy they shut the fuck up.

I solve complex problems, get my tasks done, I’m independent and I stay busy because I’ll get bored. Most meetings could just be an email. There’s no real collaboration except managers or scrum masters asking what your blockers are but not actually doing anything about it. If I think the meeting will be a waste of my time I just don’t show up.
