Look, my time is valuable. I decide what media to play based on my preferences. If I don't want to see ads, why would I instruct my browser to play them?

Yes, let's all keep believing that. If companies realized that all programmers can actually work decentralized, we might not be able to command a decent salary as it becomes a global race to the bottom...
I agree with the entirety of your post, but I'm unsure what can be done practically. Can you recommend an organization that is pushing for your positions? It may take a long time, but similar to marijuana legalization, it's gotta start somewhere.
The post is tagged "sexual assault" by the publisher, so I assume there was some sort of lewd messages. That would make it not ok.
It is really hard to tell from the article if there was criminal behavior by members of our community targeting an underage girl or if she got a bunch of followers that happened to be older men and freaked out.
I think that's an important distinction. We all know it's not ok to solicit underage people. I'm not sure if it's still ok for older people to talk to younger people.
The point and click scripting it does is pretty neat. Makes it easy to stub out responses if you happen to be a client developer blocked by your server developers.
This would disable all images, but that's what you want, because you can never tell if a site you're going to has been compromised and what content they're going to serve up until you've already downloaded it.
This doesn't completely solve the problem though, you'd also need to make sure you don't have Flash or Java, and disable SVG and CSS now that I think about it... plus an encoded text of an illegal image is still probably illegal, even if it's text-encoded, so, uhh... I don't know, it depends how paranoid you want to be.
If someone wanted to force you to have illegal data on your machine, there's almost certainly a way to make it happen if you're connected to the internet in any way. Hell, even gmail shows embedded images by default... and even if you didn't open the email containing the illegal content, you still have it in your inbox, so there's that...
We (the people) should probably be at least one of the governments.
I don't know how these decisions are actually made, but I would think there'd be at least one government with one military team that would willingly rescue him.
If anyone is in the military, what's the feeling when these kinds of things happen? It seems like there should be brave people volunteering for those kinds of rescue missions where someone really needs their help.
Eventually, somebody would notice the car there and remove it by tow truck. Most garages need parking passes or have assigned numbers or something. When someone complains is usually when someone gets towed.
I don't think you should be downvoted for this. The server chooses what to send me, and I choose if and how to display it.
Is it also considered unethical not to install that bundled spyware with your favorite freeware app?
Or how about that trojan installer tried to download automatically when you somehow landed on their page? After all, you used up some of their computing resources by serving you the page, you owe them the installation of their malware.
I just made the switch from Charles to mitmproxy. The only issue I've found with it so far is that it seems really slow in returning responses. I'm not doing anything crazy with it either, but Charles was getting content to the device way faster.
That hack only works if you have root, which means you have to be jailbroken, and Apple is always trying to stop that. I keep a jailbroken device around specifically for disabling all SSL for debugging and dumping app binaries/assets.
I wish they'd just let me buy the thing rooted like Google does.
