Speaking of responsibility: I want ad networks (a scourge on modern society) to be very liable when their systems are spreading malware and scams.

IIRC the last time my mom came to me with a fake "You Must Upgrade Now" ad on her phone (from an otherwise-legit puzzle game), the ad-network did have a feedback function... but strangely there wasn't any category for fraud.

It might be less of an issue if there were clearer ad-vs-not boundaries, but that starts getting into issues like the browser security line of death [0].
