At the request of the owner of the content. Google doesn't just randomly inject ads on every website you view.
But does Google actually forcibly inject ads into sites that didn't sign up for them? I'm not sure there is much of a parallel here between what this company is doing and Google/Facebook.
Well it isn't necessary.
Essentially this company created several adware-like plugins that allow users to do trivial things such as add a background image on facebook, in return the plugin injects ad's onto the site. It isn't a new browser, it's more akin to a greasemonkey script.
This has what to do with the subject at hand? A private business deciding not to sell "adult" rated entertainment is now an example of fascism?
I fail to see how its wrong either.
Do you really want the government to get involved in deciding what a business must sell? Is that truly any better than non-government censorship ?
Because an optional rating system is now on par with government censorship ?
If I remember correctly, didn't MS also give Samsung/HTC rather large ad budgets for advertising their windows phones? I'm willing to bet Samsung/HTC got something out of paying those licensing fees. B&N however has no need/interest in making a windows phone 7 OS based device, MS simply had nothing to offer them.
