Isn&#x27;t pretty much all advertising everywhere &quot;without the end-user&#x27;s explicit consent&quot;?<p>Websites, TV, radio, print media, billboards, sides of buses, posters in public bathrooms, Disney-branded kids&#x27; food at the grocery store, product placements embedded in actual Hollywood movies, desktop search in freakin&#x27; Ubuntu...<p>I didn&#x27;t sign up for seeing ads in any of these.  They&#x27;re just an implicit part of the social contract in 2016.
