Unfortunately, the next question becomes “is consumer reports considered an ad” etc.

It becomes a question of what truly is an ad?

That said I appreciate this sort of thought; it would even be nice for it to be implemented, but whether it could be enforced is another question. At that point it then becomes a question of who you allow to advertise.

For a long time, hedge funds were not allowed to solicit investments publicly under rule 502c of reg D.

I could see grounds to restrict things further; I’m sick of restless leg syndrome drug treatment ads…
