> we have a pervasive norm that you can't be in my house without my permission. With or without cameras, you've violated the norm
Well, I also do my Internet browsing from home. What are you doing in my house with your ads and trackers?
Adtech industry is stepping on quite a lot of norms indeed. Not surveilling people in their homes is one that's commonly violated. That a HTTP user agent is free to interpret and present the response from a HTTP server in any way it (and the user) sees fit is another, this one frequently fretted about, and users are being bullied over it.
(Another one would be consent - this one got enshrined into law in the EU. It annoys adtech people so much that they deploy every possible psychological manipulation trick to deprive users of their agency without crossing the legal line - and quite often with blatantly illegal practices. When confronted, they try to shift the blame for their techniques to regulators who are "forcing" them.)
