A tax is a price.

A fine is a price.

If it's just a price, it's acceptable to do it. People who can afford it will do it. People who profit more from doing it than they're fined or taxed will do it forever.

The only way to stop a harm is to have a population that's on board with criminalising it, a law system that's empowered to stop it and prosecute it, and have a chain of escalating remedies all the way up to physical prevention (e.g. incarceration, or corporate death penalty)

We don't let people shit in the river. We don't let companies shit in the river. We know the harms. Advertising is shitting in your brain.
