Why irrelevancies? I find it very relevant.

Like I repeatedly said already (and you seem to insist on ignoring),
there's one big difference:

I can choose not to click random website links, or not use streaming
if I want to. I have absolutely no problem with things that are
*optional* for me to use.

Audio streams can only be set if you control the parcel, too. You can't
simply show up anywhere on the grid and do something that lets you have
everybody's IP address.

I can't however realistically choose not to load textures.
