The one good news about this piece of brilliant German bureaucracy is that this legislation would be the easiest to ignore.

Germany could soon be declared illegal by Mozilla and others.

That said... this is a wrong move. We all know that. But like I said before, those marketing associations have loads of money and they make politics happy.

Then there is the elephant on the room: Google. What they lobby and done with Chromium to change the browser so it won't be possible to block ads, it is a huge disaster for the people.

Facebook is also the problem. The company that want's to track you from age 0 up to you die. And since they do track you from the moment you have a computer (aka smartphone), they will spend the money companies give them for them to put ads on your face.

Let's not forget also Amazon and many other advertising companies.

Privacy and data collection are the main concern here. Since that already happens, we should not be talking about ad blocking. We should be talking about how to split Google and Facebook in several companies. And make them stop collecting people data and active tracking.

I can empathize with websites that lost revenue due to adblock being so prevalent. This has driven websites to put up a paywall.

The internet was much better when it was ad driven than paywall driven like it is now.

I realize that my opinion is unpopular on HN. Website owners need to eat too.

fodmap•10m ago
Ads in the 'good old days' were generic ads, not anti-privacy, tracking hungry like now.

I don't mind the former but I'm active against the latter.
