Personally, I think it's more important to ban the tracking that ad companies engage in.

Absolutely. Tracking and data collection is the issue, ads qua ads are fine, I don't think this was ever really a significant conversation in offline advertising in newspapers and magazines in years gone by.

It's the tracking (online and offline) that's unpalatable.
