It’s amusing to me how I just read a thread on HN where the top comment was about the unintended consequences of regulation resulting in far worse outcomes than the problem they set out to solve. Meanwhile, at the top of this thread, we have someone advocating seizing control of all public speech and media to forcibly eliminate any perceived advertising messaging. With very little thought in the replies paid toward the potential unintended consequences. What could possibly go wrong creating a centralized body to police all speech for perceived commercial intent. I’m sure it would be all roses and sunshine!
