No, because that's not what I'm arguing here. I don't think DRM is necessary or good. I think TM&© are. I don't think you lack a right to modify sw on your own computer. I do think you lack a right to put modified sw in front of a user who's unaware it's modified.

You're dropping the DRM argument, and now you're only arguing for the legal thing? To make sure we're on the same page, you believe that owning a computer does not give you the right to alter the software on it?

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.

100% agree, you didn't say unethical before - you said illegal. The people doing it believe that not doing MITM is unethical, that's why this is so hard. Try telling an antivirus vendor that it's unethical to scan for viruses.

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?1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

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?

Rich, come on, admit this is a bad idea and that Token Binding doesn't work, even with bizarro interpretations of the law and arguing for DRM
