a television is an appliance. If I joined an organization that said I could not have a toaster oven, I would probably disregard that as an archaic rule that no longer applied... like those ones where you can get a ticket for chewing gum in public.
I believe the push/pull argument is false as well... it is not like you are logging into an FTP server and pulling one specific file down. You are subject to whatever content the website owner has published and any links or ads that might have been placed on the site.
When you open your browser and point to a URL, you might be pulling the data, but it is not a selective pull, you are pulling whatever happens to be out there on that particular website. Similar to switching to a certain channel on television and you are subject to whatever the "owner" of that channel decides to broadcast. I realize this is this is push vs. pull at a very high level, but in this scenario, I see absolutely no difference between the two.
