What if we banned all advertising? Not regulate it—abolish it. This proposal would transform manipulation machines, and maybe save democracy itself. A thought experiment worth considering.
I’d also think it would be better to create rules and regulations that are as clear cut as possible and almost impossible to circumvent.
Go after billboards first. I can turn off the TV and avoid websites that have too many ads. I should be able to ignore advertisements in the public space. Clear size limits, don’t allow structures that will only be used for this specific purpose, etc.
