So far, adblockers have won in court every time. https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32903235 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-32903235 https://www.bbc.com

  Yes, they would have to create new laws to ban adblockers. With the justification that those laws are necessary to save most of the internet.

    That would set quite a precedent. Anyone is free to point a domain at a server and serve HTTP, in the sense that they are allowed to buy a server, domain and maybe software- in order to have a website. A fair comparison could be done for a pamphlet or a book- you are free to pay a publisher/ printing press/ editor- in order to have a pamphlet or book. Banning adblockers would not simply affirm this. It would go further and set a precedent that you, the publisher, can run arbitrary code or display arbitrary things on a user's screen; potentially against the user's wishes.
