Right, but you said "just under". There's a preeetty fuckin wide gap between blocking ad blockers and dropping bombs guy.

  1. It's not just ad blockers that is m issue with this. Read Mozilla's post for a bunch of valid concerns.
  2. If you read my reply there is a comma prior to the just which makes a pause if it makes it better you could read it as [it's] just under... Either way I am not trying to make the wide gape you are referring to, I was simply stating it as a matter of fact more ethical then programming for military use but still unethical.

I'm not saying concerns aren't valid, I just took your comment to be calling it almost comparable to military software.

"..., it's just under..." means the same thing, but I think you mean "it's just under" as in "although, it's under" rather than "just" being a measurement?

Yeah not intending it as a measurement; this comes to mind in situations like this
