This is grounded in the assertion that a website’s HTML/CSS is a protected computer program that an ad blocker intervenes in the in-memory execution structures (DOM, CSSOM, rendering tree), this constituting unlawful reproduction and modification.
This is ridiculous… the in-memory structures are highly browser dependent, the browser is the one controlling how the DOM is represented in memory… it would imply that opening the website AT ALL in a different version of the exact specific one they target or with a different set of specific features/settings would also be a violation, since the memory structure would likely be different too.
At that point, they might as well just ask for their website to not be visited at all.
I wonder why all these totally unrelated things in the world are going to shit? Maybe theres a common thread
Capitalism baby!
People still look at me like I’m some sort of conspiracy theorist when I say that it’s all connected back to capitalism
Internet advertising, spreading malware since the 90s. Barely do anything to hold digital advertisement networks accountable for what they distribute, not even copyright/fraudulent website cloning for servicing malware, but always ready to crack down on people trying to browse the internet more securely and always ready to make more money for the rich
What better way to let the people know whose interests the regime really represents.
You WILL finance the pizza
You WILL watch an ad every minute
yes, beacon of democracy for europe right there.
Europe went from leader of internet freedom to STASI police in a few months.
Guess there’s a top down policy to implement Fascism across Europe soon, judging by the speed at which Europe is passing dracnonic internet control.
That’s really unfair to Stasi. For all their problems they fought Nazis, not supported them.
Its a preparation for war with russia. If journalism and free flow of information keeps existing, its hard to explain to people they should support such madness, so its time to silence everyone
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.
well, axel springer was a nazi so
