In a roughly two-week window of not having adblock enabled, I have seen a ton of "politics-adjacent" ads in Germany. They'd usually start off with something that will get right-wing nuts excited ("This Green Party politician ruined their career, learn more.") and will then pivot to some crypto-scam.

I'm wondering if those will be affected by the new ban as well, or if crypto scams aren't political enough to apply.

Closer to an election you will also see ads from actual political parties. I’ve mostly noticed them from CDU and AfD, sometimes the greens.
