There&#x27;s a reason why protocols (such as HTTP) intended for use in the public space refer to a client connection as a &quot;request&quot;. I am asking them for a specific set of data, they are welcome to choose whether to provide it or not.  Once I&#x27;ve received it, and it&#x27;s on my computer, I get to choose whether or not to let it run.  In the case of advertisements, I have more security concerns than mere annoyance, so I choose to block them.  If you don&#x27;t wish to serve me content, go right ahead, just be aware that there is nothing you can do to force me to expose my system to your potentially malicious advertisements.
