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?

For legal purposes, no we are not terrorists. I mean unless you have a twisted worldview as a french bureaucrat.

    Terrorist

    a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

    Not sure how blocking ads fits into that definition. Some of us just don’t want to hear about Raid shadow legends or the latest food delivery scam.

    That said from now on whenever I install uBlock in my head I will hear “bomb has been planted”.

      I feel like any company who isn’t making money off of you will gladly call you a terrorist and will urge their government to call you one as well, especially for people who use their sites and use ad blockers, if given the opportunity.
