- kube-system 4y agoThe immutability of blockchains don’t make them immune to the law. See Tornado Cash.
- intrasight 4y agoThe treasury department isn't going to go after an adblock list. What federal agency do you think would?
- kube-system 4y agoNobody, because this claim doesn't hold any water. But if you were breaking the law, and you were met with enforcement, having it in an immutable blockchain won't help you.

Your ad blocking list isn't gonna be useful when the browser with 90% marketshare says you can't install an ad blocker.
