Will the government move to rule adblocking illegal?
In other words, make obligatory "force-feeding" of content? As in, people won't be allowed to close their eyes or cover their ears? Good luck with that...
On a less serious note: "If you outlaw those who block ads, only outlaws will block ads."

I mean there are already rules in place that disallow modifying software, circumventing DRM, etc.
It wouldn't be a stretch to see them disallow modifying a website's contents.
The way this would probably work is make EULAs carry significantly more legal weight. Such that visiting a website with adblock on becomes a crime if the EULA for that website explicitly doesn't allow adblockers (with some sort of very explicit notice like those cookie buttons).
