Sounds great ... until you realize that if we give the govt the ability to block ads we don't like, then we give the govt the ability to block other speech, including what we do like.

I'm more worried about things like govt funded health insurance not allowing "unapproved" treatments. Of course the end results is the medical community has to go with the approved treatments to keep the govt money flowing.

And of course I'm worried about state regulations with covid and the forcing of taking "vaccines" to keep your job.

Cigarette advertising ended on TV and radio. AFAIK other advertisers took their place.
