yep sure and I'd guess that not many individual UK citizens purchase Google or Facebook ads :) Companies do, but it's just a small bump in their advertising revenue. The UK gov are alll about raising taxes that aren't obvious, so they can raise more cash whilst claiming to be reducing things like income tax. Remember the UK has a really low rate of corp. tax (19%) compared to most other countries, so hitting internet advertisers for a small amount of their budget isn't a big thing.
