One possible loophole would be that you could send bots around to manually change the ads. As it stands, network advertisers work by using scripts which ping the adtowers to change the ads automatically. You rarely if ever see their avis inworld.

However, the rules could be written to regulate the result rather than the process.

One problem is that a lot of the most reviled small plot extortionists don't put up ads at all. Others put up ads which are not really ads... the huge ugly monstrosities are put up merely to annoy the abutters and not seriously intended to market any service or product in particular.
