I can’t understand this logic.
Assume as stated that a website is a copyrighted and protected. Sure, that means I can’t redistribute it to others without permission or a license. But I can’t see how me locally, privately modifying the site would be against the law. Should Crayola be sued because their crayons can be used to modify a copyrighted art piece? Is it illegal for me to watch a movie with a blue-light filter on because it modifies how the content is displayed?
What better way to let the people know whose interests the regime really represents.
yes, beacon of democracy for europe right there.
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?
Europe went from leader of internet freedom to STASI police in a few months. Guess there’s a higher up policy to implement Fascism across Europe soon the speed at which Europe is passing dracnonic internet control.
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
Among other things, Germany’s been quite strict about piracy, so they’ve been holding the L for a while now, and continue to do so…
Oh boy, those scam centers are going to make the big buck if this really happens.
Run a DNS ad blocker like pihole or Adguard.
I wonder why all these totally unrelated things in the world are going to shit? Maybe theres a common thread
WEF Agenda from years ago. Which governments are using as guidelines.
State Censorship with the help of Corps. heading toward Digital IDs.
This is from their site, and what their white paper entails to aim for a goal to have a central ID that can be used to easily keep track (read: doxx you) via everything about you. As it will be connected to everything, including social media, obviously. What we are seeing is the slow normalisation of this. With the goal being fully there by 2030 at the latest. Albeit I have seen 2027 being thrown around for a partial goals.
So, no privacy, for control… Sorry, to protect you and your convenience. Yeah, that. Believe me, bro. Will never be abused. Promise.
Central Bank Digital Currencies, over cash. Due to Dystopian levels of cranial digital control over the currency. Friends from the bank I used to work on the IT side have already been getting briefed that these are coming down the pipe, eventually. This was done in late 2024. These things are sloe to test and implement and take time but they are coming.
Resource management that will become intrusive in your every day, via smart everything and endless bureaucracy.
Less purchases and owning, more subscription models in absolutely everything that is possible.
Essentially technocrats larping as activists for grift and profit.
This is pretty crazy how its been in the open for so long but when you talk to people about the WEF they look at you like you’re telling them the world is flat, Its in the open for all to see but everyone has their heads in the sand and wont realise until its too late, i mean it is already. As it seems alot of these things in the diagram and what you’ve said has already come true.
I cannot describe in accurate enough words how terrified this makes me for the future and how apathetic people will be to it.
If that lawsuit is successful then I’ll be next in line suing security camera companies for disrupting my breaking and entering business.
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
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.
By that same logic I could claim that SHOWING me an ad by circumventing my ad blocker is interfering with the in memory execution of my ad blocker. Wtf.
“The EU recognizes the right of users to choose what content they receive, including the ability to block unwanted advertising.”
what happened to our privacy rights? Are they being dismantled in order for giant tech companies to take a foothold in controlling the masses? I mean that’s what we get when we elect a self-proclaimed “transatlantist” chancellor. Fuck Merz and his blackrock cronies
Black mirror 15 Million Merits
And this…
…in a nutshell is US patent US8246454B2. Sony owns the rights since 2009 but has not implemented it. When the permit expires in 2030, it will basically be open for other companies to use
2030? That’s AGES awa- oh
I can literally open up the development console and manually click an ad, and delete it. Am I now hacking and sabotaging a protected program?
WTF is this for nonsense, what mental gymnastics…?
I just increased the font size on their website. By "their logic, I should be sued as well :D
Yes.
police knocking on your door
Germany? 😲
