Aside from this (which is already very shitty and would cause the same response in me) what are the issues you’re running into with Vercel?
- Support is failing us - I want my team to use you for vercel support, but it isn't there. - Support is failing our customers - when you fail, I end up reverse-depending your repo to tell us why it's failing -- just give us a clear answer, we all move away happy, bullshit and I go to lambda where I just accept it. - EOD: Vercel makes engineers happy to bullshit, but gives operations teams nothing acceptable - I want…

I don't know for sure, but I would imagine there are more severe actions taken against circumventing paid material (content behind a paywall) than there is for free content supplemented by advertisements.. Edit : The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) prohibits circumventing an effective technological means of control that restricts access to a copyrighted work. I guess that would apply here.

What's UO? This would've been a great comment with a little more info :)
https://ublockorigin.com/ After install go to "Filter Lists" > Import ... > and add the url of the "list"... which is actually from a different repo: https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filter... Note: this apparently works for fewer sites than the linked extension.
Still, this is great to know because it can then be used on Firefox mobile.

#86> Freedom of information is an essential pillar of democracy and informed decision-making. While media organizations have legitimate financial interests, it is crucial to strike a balance between profitability and the public's right to access information. The proliferation of paywalls raises concerns about the erosion of this fundamental freedom, and it is imperative for society to find innovative ways to preserve access to vital information without compromising the sustainability of journalism.

#87I got the feeling that these features should be part of a browser extension the same way as there are AdBlock extensions. I guess the reason it is not is "personal preference" of the author, or is there some technical reason?
> these features should be part of a browser extension You mean like Bypass Paywall Clean? https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-chrome-clean

Or you can load this uBO filterlist, which should basically do the same thing as the extension https://gitlab.com/magnolia1234/bypass-paywalls-clean-filters/-/raw/main/bpc-paywall-filter.txt

Given how liberally the DMCA is applied, you definitely don't want to be on the wrong side of that. I remember some guy that wrote a WoW bot and got sued using the DMCA, with the argument that his bot was circumventing the anti-cheat and the anti-cheat could be seen as a 'mechanism protecting copyrighted material', because it was safeguarding access to the game servers, the servers were generating parts of the game w…
As far a I know section 1201 has never been prosecuted. Distribution of the copyrighted material is what's focused on.
