Livejournal Bans Ad-Blocking Software

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the no-blocking-for-you dept.

Anonymous Emo writes "The community/blogging site LiveJournal recently introduced ads on some pages for free users. More interestingly, they also added a new restriction to their TOS (XVI 17 b.) banning users from using or providing ad-blocking software. The new TOS also permits them to immediately terminate the account of anyone they catch doing this."

    I've been expecting this... Now we'll have to modify our ad blocking software to download and discard the ads that are currently ignored altogether.

    Oh sorry, wasn't thinking. I don't have any online friends.
