if i cant grafitti the walls why can corporations?
Because they own that wall. The owner of a wall (or poster space for that matter) can do whatever.
And what do we get to own? Nothing... My OS.. My.. bandwidth.. My RAM? Nope.
Oh I own my computer, and I don't get ads as a result. It's not impossible. A Linux DE does not have ads and your browser can block them with various methods.
Yup. If you use Windows, you need to accept what Microsoft does, because they control the OS. If you use Linux, you only need to accept what the software you install does, and there are a lot of options to select from.
Feel free to complain when Microsoft does something stupid, but don't expect Microsoft to do anything about it. If you want control, use something that preserves that control.
sounds like time for even more grafitti to cover their ads
