Expand Up @@ -23,6 +23,8 @@ uAssets will not address the following:
- Paywalls
- Porn Farms

Use other browser extensions for these scenarios instead which you can ask for in the [Discussions](https://github.com/uBlockOrigin/uAssets/discussions). Circumventing paywalls specifically [violates Section 1201 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which prohibits circumvention technology](https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2024/08/2024-08-09-news-media-alliance.md) leading to takedown of the entire repository. uBlock Origin is not a website blocker so Porn Farm websites will not be blocked - only content within websites, like porn advertisements, will be.

#### How to correctly report an issue

- Disable all other browser extensions and see if the problem still persists
