Then please, oh please separate it out. Internet and Advertising. Shouldn't be hard.

How can the OS tell if an HTTP request is for the Internet or for Ads? It can't.

Though Google could special-case AdMob effectively owning the ad scenario for apps which don't use the internet for anything else.

That's what I meant. It covers a good ~95% of all ads. Have any extras register for security exemption. Makes sense to me - in the context of not screwing the user over constantly.
