If you don’t want advertisements in your physical mailbox in Sweden, all you have to do is put a sticker or sign on it saying “No ads, please”. People carrying mail are obliged to respect that. As simple as that.

And you know, that’s how it should work on the internet too.

@anderseknert @osslate that's how it used to be here as well, now it's the contrary: ad is banned by default, if you do want to receive ads, you have to opt in using a sticker similar to the one you used to need to put on your mailbox to say you didn’t want any! That's the way it should be.
@metacosm @osslate that’s amazing! Where’s ”here”? :)

I love that! Definitely how it should be.
