We need legal controls on web advertising
I am beginning to believe that advertising (at all, on any medium) is an evil we need to do without.<p>The "free stuff" that we get in return is never without consequences, as we're finding out.<p>The "hey we built a thing you might want to buy" function can be done in different forms, better, I think. Probably by newspapers.<p>I think we could start by taxing all advertising revenue by, say, 50%.
