is it illegal to use an adblocker

[want-love]

god will say me i am sinning? maybe usa law says: "you shall not use an adblock in your computer"
but the same usa law lets people use copyrighted images for personal use
the law of iran says grown up men marry children

so, the law of god maybe doesn't let you use copyrighted images for personal use, it's just what the USA law says but not the truth

According to Jesus, we should follow local laws.
Scripture says all government is from God's permission.

It is not illegal to use an adblocker. You can also use copyrighted images on the forum.

I do not know that I've ever heard a sermon on the passage...“Give to him who asks you, and from him who wants to borrow from you do not turn away." Not a popular passage.

No, it is not illegal, nor is it unethical. You are under no obligation to view ads. Advertisement is a business paradigm. So are copyrights.

If it was illegal, I don't think it be as widely available as an add-on/extension for browsers. But I personally decided I shouldn't use it; I don't want to take potential revenue from sites dependent upon advertisements.

When you boil it down, it's all God's anyways...He gives men the talents they employ for such things.

i don't accept a local law who let grown up men marry 11 y.o. girls

There's no law saying you have to view ads. The site knows whether you use a blocker, and can deny access if it chooses. So you're not taking anything from them.

Most ad blockers allow exclusions, so you can support the sites you choose to. All in all, it's not a bad system, and everyone gets freedom of choice.

Or again, you can block the ads, and then donate directly to the site to support them. In effect, you're voluntarily paying for the privilege of not seeing ads.

Can you give a little context for your question? Because alone, it seems beyond bizarre, especially considering that I just said using ad blockers is not illegal.

 

[paul1149]

Apparently, you are referring to the hypothetical existence of an unjust law. Thankfully, we have legal remedies in this nation for dealing with such laws, but they are not perfect, nor are they always quick. In the event of an unjust law, you will have to use your Biblically-informed conscience to figure out how to deal with it. There are examples on both sides of the fence in the Bible.

don't call bizarre what i said, it's disgusting to read you like that
i am saying maybe it's not illegal to use an adblocker but in the law of your conscience? the law of god, the ethic

the owners of this forum depend from the ads, even they offer paind membership to block the ads, and you are blocking them with an adblocker

 

[FenderTL5]

It's not illegal now. Keep a close watch on your ISP TOS. With the elimination of net neutrality that could change.

IT'S ETHICALLY WRONG?. yes.

Seriously? It was an honest comment. I just assumed you were using google translate. If I'm wrong, I'm sorry. Sheesh.
