Rejected petition To limit ads and enforce false advertising laws on and in mobile apps.

Put in laws that limit non optional ads in games to every 5 or 10 mind instead of over 10 to 30 seconds and apply false advertising laws to phone apps.

More details

In most apps on you phone/tablet you are forced to watch an ad every 10 to 30 seconds, now the developers still have to earn money but this time should be at least 5 or 10 min for non optional ads. And by optional I mean ads that don't force on your screen but you choose to watch it for a boost.

You see many ads for games but when you download them the games are completely different.

You can purchase no ad's but that doesn't mean no ads it means no forced ads, how is that not false advertising
