How would this prohibition be enforced?
Discussion
Have you ever seen a commercial for heroin?
You didn’t answer my question. What should be the penalty for airing an ad that you don’t like? Who should carry out this censorship?
Sorry, I’m probably coming off as combative. Rather than do rhetorical questioning, I’ll just state my case.
Any time someone says “X should be illegal”, it raises implementation questions. “Who enforces the ban?” “What is the penalty for violation?”
In this case, you’re talking about banning advertising (speech). So I want to know: who do you propose to put in charge of enforcement? What are the penalties for violations?
It’s easy to say something that you don’t like “should be illegal”. It’s much harder to produce a comprehensive plan for enforcement.
