The lesson is you can't pay the danegeld to make a problem go away - the only lasting solution is to get the power and sovereignty to do it yourself. Or as Kipling put it - "But Iron – Cold Iron – is master of them all."
Then you have lobbyists, who perform the same function as advertisers. Those with power are the most ad-targeted of all.
'Power' in this case is hardware and software under your control.
