Well that's dystopian as fuck, ads are a legitimate security threat with the amount of malware, scams, and other shady stuff advertisements online frequent contain.
Edit: Not even a day later there's a report about Google ads straight up serving malware because of fucking course that happened...
It's dystopian as fuck for an even more fundamental reason: your computer is your property, and propagandists have no right to colonize it!
That goes double for the fact that the copy"right" they're trying to justify this invasion of control with isn't actually a right at all, but rather a mere temporary monopoly privilege. They're literally just borrowing from the Public Domain and think they not only own something, but that it somehow supersedes the actual property rights of everybody else!
