I actually doubt Google wants shitty newspapers that are stuck in the last century to dictate how the internet works. Next step is that Google has to show them in the results and pay them on top or stop operating entirely. They won‘t stop until they‘re either bankrupt or the internet is toast.
Making ad blockers illegal means they win the ad blocker war that YT has been waging for a while now, once and for all. Basically, ad blockers being banned by law would be YT’s Hiroshima bomb on ad blockers and maybe even alt front-ends.

They already tried that…
They‘ll try again if they succeed in this.

Did you read the second part of my comment and thought about the implications?
