However, TV adverts and web adverts are 2 very different mediums - TV is obviously quite a mature medium, the www much less so - there is no real policing of web adverts .e.g the pop ups made to look like a normal windows box, informing you that "your computer is at risk" and "spyware detected" etc... that sort of deception was banned years ago on TV*. Not only should people filter the content on pages they don't want, its actually advisable for the less technically savvy to have ad-blocking set as a default.
* TV adverts used to have fake "news readers" advertising products or a close up of a product to make it appear bigger...etc...all of which is now banned.
