Ads have long been weapons. It's time the west woke up to the threat of propaganda. And no, addressing this is not incompatible with "free speech." Propaganda is not free speech. The person paying for the propaganda has a voice they can use, that is their free speech.

Whenever did it become somehow a "right" to be able to pay for large scale propaganda? Oddly enough this right is not afforded to those without the funds to pay for it.
