That would be totally unenforceable, imo.

I'm gonna modify Springer's websites so hard, they're gonna resemble a Picasso's painting
Great, but how could they possibly enforce it? It's infeasible.
As long as they can reduce the adblock usage, it is a win for them. 100% success is not the goal. Right now there is nothing stopping everyone from using some sort of adblocker (0% revenue is possible actually), which must be scary.
Will they sue Dillo next, because it looks like this there? 👉👈🥹
Btw, they lost in this already what, 7 times?
Eh, next try (Nr. 7? 8?) of Axel Springer, a tabloid that wanted to declare their site as a protected piece of art you aren't allowed to modify (block stuff).
maybe in the future a service offers a flat monthly fee to not have any ads and distributes the money to all of the content platforms that would otherwise show ads. basically it's like a little government taxing users and giving the money to the capital owning class all over again

Funny how this thread isn't over-run with copyright shills standing up for the poor journalists. Maybe once the law needs to be changed?
Just take your internet connected devices into your back yard and burn them all. Might as well take preemptive action before the internet is killed off.
With the recent insults to privacy (including E2E encryption) and the pro-corporate legislation, has Germany lost its way? Seems like newer generations are forgetting the lived experience of the Stasi. Also, I feel that pro-tenant legislation is at risk.
Update: the top comment is the best; don’t read my bullshit.
