Sure, but neither of those have anything to do with what this thread is talking about. Data ownership and privacy are important, but this thread is about GP's claim that (paraphrased) the fundamental problem is that advertising is the ability to buy influence at scale, and that "bad actors" aren't prevented from doing so.

Or from ad exchanges that automate it for your? It's hard for me to see how this would have much of an effect, beyond mildly increasing the cost.
