As others have mentioned, you could just serve ads and content from domains which you wouldn't want to block, like www.google.com. And if an app receives its content encrypted (eg. SSL) you can't do a lot of filtering at the network level apart from domain names.

True. I want to be able to add my own root ssl cert to my phone for this exact reason. Then it will think that my MITM adblock proxy is the real deal. This should work great for web browsers. It does get a bit nastier for apps.

Yeah, you can always make it a pain to block ads.. but then who will use it?
