In other news, RojoLoco is testing Pi Hole with a big middle finger pointed at advertisers and Netflix.
I wounder if the TV shows won't load if something is blocking it?
I'm using Netflix right now with Pi Hole and haven't noticed any ads.
That's not suggestive. Only a small number of people see them no matter what right now.

My guess is that Netflix serves them in such a way that they are just another show.
They're not ads in the sense we think of with ad blockers. They're inserting a few seconds of previews for Netflix programming during the 15 second countdown between episodes when you binge a series.

Exactly, it's just part of the show. No way, I would think, that an ad blocker could detect them.

Ah yeah, in that case I wouldn't have seen them anyways.
Just watched a single movie.

Isn't harassment already a crime?
I believe that a lot of laws are passed to try to outlaw people being ASSHOLES. It won't work.

Apparently one of the players lost and started shooting. It's pretty brutal.

Politics are pretty much banned.
Linking a news article is one thing.
-
Yeah.. and the term "politics" is often so poorly defined that an aweful lot of things are dumped under that umbrella, whether actually political or not, so I suppose I'll just refrain.
