Advertisements in general. Imagine world without ads and sponsored content.
I don't think that's realistic. Even the guy at the local market shouting "get your potatoes here" is technically advertisement.
What could work instead is to make both the company that advertises and the one that displays the ad liable for the ad itself. If it's inappropriate, contains malware or is in any way malicious, the company displaying it should also be liable for endangering the customers. Also outlaw tracking for advertisement purposes altogether
São Paolo in Brazil and Grenoble in France completely banned outdoor advertising, various other cities and regions (Amsterdam, Bristol, Vermont) have heavily restricted them. Dare to dream bigger than policies which have already existed for decades 😝
