Even if that where true, how can they have copyright on generic code? In a computer language for which they do not have copyright.

The right to have our minds uncluttered and unconfronted by the endless persuasion of corporate attempts to assault and shape our thinking, needs, and preferences does not exist in Western society.
No individual has a right to choose to be free from advertising. The money behind corporate “speech” is too powerful, prevalent, and presumed for it to even be contemplated.

Well I don’t use ad blockers. I just don’t resolve all domains.
Sorry, but the law has no jurisdiction over what runs on my computer, as long as the content itself is not illegal.

I’m sure that they’ll come after spam ads and malicious software and scams posing as ads with the same fervor.

If Axel Springer says the ads are part of their copyright-protected material, surely they won’t mind if people start suing Axel Springer directly for any and all damages originating from scam ads that are shown on their websites, right?
Impossible to enforce and violates a lot of EU laws. Even if they try the laws will fail in court.

All of these people are inbreds and/or pedophiles. No exception really.
They’re guilty until they show all their digital life and it’s open to the public forever. You’re not going to convince us otherwise. Show us your text messages, your hard drives, everything. No? Then shut the fuck up. You have no value to society.

People love to trash talk about the badly called “third world” countries, but the reality is that I can do whatever the hell I want. True freedom.

So will pressing F12 and hiding the ads manually also be illegal?

Ads are bad for the environment. Wasted packets, wasted Watts, wasted time.

Also want to give a shout out to the [anti-axelspringer-hosts Github project](https://github.com/autinerd/anti-axelspringer-hosts?tab=readme-ov-file#anti-axel-springer-hosts-file) which provide the means to never visit any website associated with Axel Springer ever again.
