I don’t think this problem is that hard to solve, it just requires political will that doesn’t exist. The solution is to make it the platform’s problem. If the platform doesn’t want to deal with fraud, they don’t get to operate in that jurisdiction. Sue them into submission. If they don’t care about that geography, then there is now a gap in the market for a more local business to fill.

This is equivalent to saying "I don't think the problem is hard, it just requires an a simple solution that doesn't exist". Problems are hard problems specifically because simple easy solutions for them don't exist.

How do I enforce that? - They probably got no office in my country. No representative I can arrest.

Maybe I can confiscate money paid for ad's or something, however that probably runs via a payment system outside my control.

So I have to punish my local companies advertising, but then it won't be my local branch of Coca-Cola advertising, but a foreign branch.

Enforcing this, without international cooperation, is tough. And currently international politics aren't in a cooperative phase for large parts.
