MODERATORS
If Germany bans ad blockers and a German citizen or company becomes victim to a malicious advertisement, do they have a case against the German government or by extension Axel Springer?
What are you thinking?? Against the capital owners?
Yes.
Technically they could argue that, if it was their code.
Corp. would likely counter with some BS that if it was not their code that they are not liable.
