You can take pictures of private property without permission as long as they don’t contain anything personally identifiable (ie. don’t take pictures of people, but no people is fine).

Or, you know, trivially circumvent it? Compress media, break up URLs? I don’t understand how this could possibly be effective.

Pirated content don’t have ads though.

Firefox - Accidentally introduces memory leaks. People flee in droves.

Chrome - Intentionally introduces privacy leaks. People go “eh” end keep using it.

Gotta protect that memory!
