Ahoy maties, I've got a confession to make...
I am an ad-block user a terrorist?!? France just declared people who use ad-blockers terrorists.
Anyone else here a terrorist? 🤣 I'm part of the uBlock Origin faction, what faction(s) do you belong to?
You're viewing a single thread.
Many ads are malicious. Many try to install software you didn't ask for on your computer, or they try to trick you into pressing a "download" button on a download site that isn't for the thing you wanted but for their software, or they fake error messages to trick you into installing malicious software.
Back when I was younger, all those sort of activities would fall under the banner of "cyber-terrorism". Therefore, installing an ad blocker is an act of counter-terrorism.
The FBI recommends using an ad blocker - “Use an ad blocking extension when performing internet searches.” > https://www.ic3.gov/Media/Y2022/PSA221221
Well that confirms it the FBI is a terrorist organization.
(This is a joke FBI)
FBI: nice save…
Soon: The FBI recommends using an ad-blocker approved by the Department of Defence
DoD: "We are not supporting Chrome at this time due to adblocking changes, use our Firefox extension to stay safe"
