Germans, find out all the people behind this company. Owners, workers, lawyers. They hate you. Give them a hearty welcome back.

In case some people are confused by or misreading the headline: "Axel Springer" is the name of the publishing house founded by Axel Springer, but he has been dead for 40 years now. So the title refers to the publisher, not the man.

Yes, my fault. That's the company name, not a person.

Absolute dickhead. What's next? Am I getting fined for disabling JavaScript? What about using Links2?

This world is a dystopian shithole.

For Germany, a country known for its strict privacy laws, to become the second country, after only China, to ban adblockers seems wild to me.

"Heil Springer" time I guess? Germany never stops disappointing...
