      Starting a business and hanging a sign outside your location is a form of advertising, but I would say it’s more useful than predatory.

      Maybe regulated advertising, where they can be sued or fined for lying and misleading people. This should be covered under general fraud laws but probably so common you’d want a regulatory body that didn’t detract from law enforcement.
