Re: It will be all right in the end
Great point about the waste of electricity.
Our internet and mobile data limits are also getting consumed downloading ads and uploading tracking data. We have a right to block this since we are paying for it, and aren't being asked.
With the recent revelations of how many app track us (over 90%) and how often they independently send data to the mothership, this is getting ridiculous. https://arxiv.org/pdf/1804.03603.pdf
