Run a DNS ad blocker like pihole or Adguard.
Mozilla guy saying there's a risk, but i dont really see it, myself.
Firstly, does copyright really prevent modification for personal use? I dont think it does.
Secondly, you're not so much modifying the content as not consuming part of it. I think thats an important distinction for the court to grapple with.
Germany? 😲
Third time's a charm for Germany, I guess :) (running and ducking for cover)

Honestly, ban advertising entirely. It shits in your brain and slowly ruins everything. Even perfectly profitable businesses go - what if we made all the money, and fucked our customers' eyeballs?
Oh boy, those scam centers are going to make the big buck if this really happens.
well, axel springer was a nazi so
Same thing goes for the "porn bans will destroy the internet" posts:
One day it will happen and a few countries will do this, ban adblock or require ID for porn. But I am not so certain it's a bad thing for us technically savvy people. Tor, i2p and such will get a huge influx of people. Totally new cultures will form there. It will be exciting. I will not NOT block advertising and I think many will do the same. So even if that's going to be illegal, it will either not be enforced (that would be bad) or it will lead to people finding a different place in the internet that advertising hasn't reached yet :)
people won't actively seek to break the law just because something sucks. if that was the case we wouldn't have things like facebook or twitter or tiktok.
The statement doesn't follow. Facebook, Twitter, or TikTok have nothing to do with people's willingness to break laws. Those platforms are popular because people want what they offer.
if this is true than it would make ai spiders and ai training through website scraping illegal.
it can't be enforced against the actual baddies
