The country side is not a silver bullet. It has its own set of problems with pesticides and second-order pollution such as ozone which can be higher than in urban areas. And as other have pointed out, moving to the country side does induce

There is a tremendous amount of research on the effectiveness of retargeting. This is dubbed "incrementality" in the field. Issues are: 1. Incrementality is extremely hard to measure due to noise and biases, in particular when t

How would governments finance this? Developing these offerings with the quality of service of the GAFAM (which users take now for granted) costs a fortune (financed by advertising in practice as of today).

mjburgess has a point. There is a relationship with online advertising for the following reason: online advertising has been a perfect testbed for the latest AI research for years because (1) it leverages massive amounts of data (2) is not
