Google should put a SOPA style blackout for French ISP Free's customers (asifali.me)

Following that logic, shouldn't Google put a blackout when it detects AdBlock is installed on your browser? A friendly reminder, for those of us who forgot who's really in control here. j/k, you're in control, right? ;)

I think the french FAI's filtering is “wrong”, not because it is opt-out, but because it seems to target one company. They're not getting good PR with the move anyway, so it should become opt-in soon-ish... My 2 cents.


I saw someone say that Free dropped the ad-blocking today, but I don't know if it's true or not.
