Yeah, but political ads 1) won't sustain the adtech industry by themselves 2) are much easier to convince people to regulate/outlaw

It was also politically popular in the U.S. to outlaw unlimited donations to political campaigns from corporations, and then that law was struck down by the Supreme Court.
I'm not saying it'd be easy, but it's a much less complicated topic than applying regulation to all of online privacy and advertising at once.
