Wouldn't the likely effects of this be to:

1. Push even more of the internet within walled gardens like Meta and YouTube, where they don't have to rely on 3rd party cookies in order to show relevant ads

2. Push more of the web, including journalism, behind paywalls

3. Cause a lot of the existing free (ad supported) web to be taken down

4. For existing free/ad-supported sites, an even larger quantity of ads per page/time would be needed to continue running?
