Bodily autonomy? Uh, what? You... you have the right to close your eyes.

> there's no fucking "contract law" with https requests

But there is when you sign up for a service.

This has nothing to do with human rights...




> Well, it seems obvious that they can say "in exchange for sending you this video you must watch the ads".

"you must watch" is bodily autonomy. currently what they can enforce technologically is "you must wait" for these 30 seconds of ads, which I can close my eyes for, or similarly with technology block the domain name they are served from

"you must stay" is bodily autonomy. I'm not sure how this is hard to understand
