Like I said, what's new is our unique ability to both target and blind it in such a way that it's difficult to respond to. It will require a whole set of technological counters to be developer to prevent untraceable entities from launching the "super predator" ads again.

It's not at all new. This has been going on since at least the early '80s in the form of targeted mailers.
