Hardly the type of intrusive advertising that sparked these discussions.

How do you encode that in law such that it won't be abused?

  • That's a challenge I'd leave for much smarter people than me.

    But it is a good point. If this were to make it into law then we need some sort of threshold.

funny enough, it's in the eye of the beholder.

  • Everything is but I think if we're to generalize then plastering an entire square in billboards and having a tiny text at the bottom of a very simple HTML page are two wildly different things.

    • not really. you could argue that if you're 2-3 feet from a monitor the text on the bottom of a full screen HN page takes more of your vision than a billboard 500ft away.
