I hope the EU or someone else would address this invasive behavior on the part of ad companies. You know a billboard, a TV ad, text ads, it’s all good. I wanna buy things, I want to know about some things people sell —and people can make a living delivering ads. Fine. But this eternal descent into insidious psychological manipulation to get people to buy things they don’t need which adds to planetary stress by a ‘don’t be evil’ company has got to stop.

I’m a fan of early Google. I don’t know when but they jumped the shark with this nonsense.
