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."

    That's good. Or would you enjoy people jumping at you from behind, screaming "Fristy Piss!!!"; Zonk telling you what he found in his diapers and he thinks it looks like a Nintendo Revolution screenshot. TripMasterMonkey letting you see his insightful cock.
