Proposing a semantic html tag for "invisible DRM <div> that tries to block the actual page from you behind some sham forced legal agreement" called:

<add-me-to-adblock-filterlist>

or perhaps:

<my-asshole-boss-made-me-add-this>

@thufie heard someone say once that part of the reason XHTML failed to find adoption and browsers didn’t prioritize it is because it might have lead to the normalization of semantic HTML where you could just choose not to render the elements described as ads

And that of course threatened Google and co.’s business model.

I will need to find that comment again
