AdBlock will show ads to all 50 million of its users to combat censorship.
The duration of the action is one day, and social advertising will be shown.
The AdBlock team announced its intention to show all 50 million of its users ads for a day. True, it will not be a commercial advertisement, but a social one dedicated to the fight against censorship. For example, a message from Edward Snowden will be shown. All this will be shown in the form of standard banners.
The campaign, according to its initiators, aims to attract public attention to censorship. According to representatives of AdBlock, the governments of different countries are increasingly looking for ways to establish control over the communication of ordinary people.
Banners, which are planned to show users, are developed in Amnesty International. As mentioned above, all social advertising will show only a day, after which everything will return to its place.

It is worth noting that ad blockers are now causing increasing dissatisfaction with news agencies, the media and other companies that work on the web. For example, some major online media prohibit users who have an ad blocker from accessing the information hosted. Well, AdBlock itself skips “moderate” advertising, for which companies are paid by advertisers.
In this case, more recently, some companies have begun to offer ad blockers. Well, the latter are already fighting with ad blockers. True, with varying success. The blockers have both opponents and supporters. The same Snowden finds such a tool useful because it removes not only ads, but also potentially harmful blocks from web pages.
The AdBlock promotion is due to take place on March 12th.
