How about we actually start to hold executives accountable and put them into jail when they fuck up? Executives get seven, sometimes eight figures a year in compensation, but face virtually no risk - even if they do fuck up, they get golden parachute packages.

Part of why especially the Android ecosystem is rampant in malicious advertising, tracking, malware, fake advertising, fraud and other issues is because no one gives a shit to hold bad actors accountable. Just look at the current "Evony: The King's Return" advertising campaign - everywhere on my phone from Twitter to Youtube I almost exclusively get their ads despite there having been media coverage of their ads being fake [1] two goddamn years ago.

Youtube, Twitter, Google - no one cares about blatant spam and fraud for years. This shit has got to stop, and preferably sooner than later!
