Yes I actually believe that MITM (like other forms of surveillance) is unethical and non-consensual regardless of what contract they signed. To have any chance of being ethical it needs constant visual indication that it's taking place.
I said (or tried to; maybe this got lost in Twitter threading) that browser vendors could use TM &/| © law to make something that's unethical into something illegal, thereby protecting users as long as they can assume administrator is law-abiding.

Do you think websites can use TM&© to prevent adblockers?
-
To prevent a third party from adblocking for you, maybe. Obviously I don't want them to be able to, but I'm not sure how it would go. But to prevent you from installing an adblocker yourself for your own personal use, absolutely not.
-
I see, so if my Administrator installed an adblocker for me (I think
@SwiftOnSecurity previously mentioned she does that to her users^Wvictims), you believe she should be prosecuted? -
No, see the first half of the tweet you replied to.
-
You said "To prevent a third party from adblocking for you, maybe.", you're saying that Administrators are not third parties? So an Administrator can change how things are displayed, or cannot?
