    i mean they bought a privacy preserving ad company to offer an alternative for companies to google, which is what they should be doing.

    because like it or not people depend on ads for their sites.

        Ban billboards. Very different. And are there ones owned by the city.

        Honestly, not a huge win.

          Banning billboards is actually pretty huge. I live in Maine where billboards are banned and the mental break from being constantly forcibly advertised to is so nice. Every time I travel anywhere else I realize what a huge difference it makes.

        Sadly that news isn’t how it is right now. Picking a random spot in Grenoble using Google maps and searching for the first tram station, I find 6+ billboards.
