Comment on Mozilla warns Germany could soon declare ad blockers illegal

I don’t know why but I feel relaxed about it. It’s hardly enforceable and I don’t even think Springer will win this. It’s just a feeling from experience with those things in Germany.
They’re also referring to browser based ad blocking which leaves blockers like pi hole or ad guard to be legal options.

I just went through the comments … people are losing their shit. And as always whenever Germany is mentioned, Godwin’s Law is in full effect.
Apparently nobody remembers the very American and very similar youtube-dl takedown which ended in youtube-dl’s favor. tl;dr: website owners cannot tell people how to read their websites.
DON’T PANIC nothing has happened, and it won’t for years.
