I know this is geting into the dodgy area of censorship, however, given the vast amount of traffic containing this "spam", would it be possible for the network to identify files that are clearly adverts and flag them?
That way, an option could be included in "filters" to say "Don't download obvious annoying adverts" (maybe not in those exact words!). |
