And the regulation doesn't need to be overly complicated:

* Ban targeted ads or make them opt in;

* Ban targeted content or make it opt in;

From the developer's perspective, it was a joy to work with. I made some projects using pascal and C++ if I remember correctly.

Yes, the same applies to newspapers and magazines online. We need a law demanding a legal digital deposit at least at the national level.

It is somewhat trivial to devise an API to be integrated in the publications pipelines to automatically and transparently submit new and modified articles to a central repository.
