text: Could we not make the same case for all advertising?
  
  Ads target every segment of society and it can be argued that whatever segment an ad targets, a harm can result. The harm caused by ads goes far beyond just targeted advertising. The shear volume of ads coupled with the repetitiveness of individual ads cause stresses we are largely unaware of. 
  
  TV advertising was causing me a great deal of harm (anxiety) back in 2007. So much so I cancelled my television subscription and have gone without TV ever since. I was luck that I was able to recognize that TV ads were causing me anxiety, most people can't make the connection.
