I don't get that either. Eyeo is a german company, so the rather strict german privacy laws now apply to flatter. I think thats a good thing.

They're wishy washy with language, but the long and short is that they charge companies to whitelist their ads.
As I commented above, I think they're providing a service with fighting law-suits for ad-blocking.
I use ublock origin myself, but I don't think my parents will ever install it or even read about it. And a company with an interest to make money might reach them and spread the usage of ad-blockers in general.
