Oh nice. I hope other countries follow suit. It’s quite a shame Google didn’t get Chrome divested from them in the US, would’ve been a “nature is healing” moment for the web.

"would’ve been a “nature is healing” moment for the web". I wish this was true.

The healing will be when all ads and marketing will be down to zero. This companies like Facebook and Google make their billions putting on your face what you don't want or need and someone else pays them good money for that.

You may think it's too radical but we must make marketing illegal. Then fix the web.

Marketing is extremely necessary in order to have competitive markets.

We can discuss about what are the best means or even limits in the contents of advertising but making it illegal is non sense.

National monopoly on advertising could be sufficient replacement.

Because it's been working out so well for competition....
