The only regulation Adtech companies need is a cap on how many Ads they can show to a single person in a day. Right now its infinity.
All this other stuff won't make any diff cause its all about how much Attention they are allowed to capture, steal, buy, sell and waste.

- shiroiushi 2y agoInstead of a single person, make it a single sign-in. A "single person" really is too much to expect. But a single sign-in is not.
- mozman 2y agoI haven’t seen an ad in years through careful ad blocking Extensions API needs more granular controls and to remain functional
- jfengel 2y agoIs it the number of ads that's really the problem? The limit right now is "how much users will put up with". I think of the targeting as the key problem. Not even necessarily the results of the targeted ads, but the process that they have to go through to do the targeting. They gather up a lot of your personal habits, and there's a ton of real evil that can be done with that. The ads are merely a large nuisance, but the loss of privacy is potentially devastating. If so, limiting the ad count won't help.
- Terr_ 2y agoThe raw number of ads is not the problem compared to: 1. Placement and deliberate confusion 2. No liability for viruses or scams 3. Creepy spying/tracking
