I submitted this, but for some reason the title has been changed. The name of the report is "Time to Ban Surveillance Based Advertising." I don't know who changed it or why, but this was done without my permission.
The organization who wrote it, Forbruker Rådet, is the Norwegian Consumers Council and are taken seriously in the country. Norway is a small country with strong consumer protections, so it's possible the country could serve as a testbed for implementing this kind of restriction.
There is also an open letter signed by a number of privacy organizations and companies which support this call for a ban: https://protonmail.com/blog/ban-surveillance-advertising/ https://protonmail.com/blog/ban-surveillance-advertising/
