I think a low hanging reform would be requiring ads to have attribution of the real life human persons actually responsible for and paid for the ad instead of the usual "The Center for Good Things Against Bad Things." Expose that it really all terminates at a group of rich assholes small enough to fit on one plane ride to Epstein's island.
I'd be shocked if now was the time to have standards of any sort.

> Sergey Mikhailovich Brin was born on August 21, 1973, in Moscow in the Soviet Union,[8] to Russian Jewish parents,
As simple as that.
More from the noticing department, here's Brin kissing Trump's posterior a month or so ago [1], which shows that no matter who the CEO might be Brin (and I guess Page, too) still call the shots at Alphabet.
I'm half convinced there's some 4chan troll billionaire trying to pull off the most outrageous cognitive dissonance of all time.
Pro-Israel voices try to cite that as a massive contradiction, label such Jews as "self-hating", etc.

I discovered two things. First, Google doesn't care about being consistent, hypocritical, or, really, anything. Second, Israel creates new ad accounts with Google, runs campaigns, then shuts them down. Here's one advertiser ID which I saved in my bookmarks:

I'm saying this because my observation with all that propaganda going on in social media since many years is that they are not this direct, instead they imply stuff and work to create certain framing.
Have been several media articles about supposedly starved children and later its found they have some other condition
Also saw an article about how Hamas used the arm band method... the article claimed was a non standard method and had been shown to be not as reliable as other starvation methods. Maybe there is pockets of stavevation?
