If we are going to Ban the Wail & T+B can we also ban sites with embedded autoplay video?

Ford Indian Car Advert Criticised For Trivialising Sexual Violence And Rape Against Women

Car manufacturer Ford has been accused of undermining attempts to tackle violence against women in India with an advert showing three gagged and bound ladies in the back of a car.

The ad also appears to show a grinning Silvio Berlusconi, notorious for his "bunga bunga" sex parties, in the driver's seat of the Figo.

I wonder if there is some logic in Ford actually wanting this to happen, a quick apology for a third party so no direct responsibility, and untold amounts of free advertising.
