Most of the time it's a brief look with a VM that the ad approval process goes thru, and honestly that may not show the malware.

A lot of the time the malware is designed to only show up in certain case scenarios such as date/time, specific version of an OS like Windows XP SP1 but not SP2. Designers come up with the most ludicrous ways of circumventing the Ad approval process, and with hundreds to thousands of new ad's per day there simply isn't an easy way to do all that testing for each single new ad being served, on top of discovering new methods used to skip the checks.

Some networks are truly terrible and just have automation systems but those networks aren't as profitable and are beginning to die out.

With deep learning networks becoming so popular I do often ponder if this type of prevention could be automated slightly better!

That is worrisome but as always it's a standard thus not all browsers will implement on top of most browsers now have some way of configuring deeper settings like this to be disabled.

In the end the data goes to the user so a way would be found with or without Chrome or any of the other big wigs. What they should do is focus on how to brand it better so users know where it comes from - this would create a way to spread free idea's while giving credit where due and hopefully pushing the idea of the free web further.

I recall when early developers would make it so you couldn't right click and view the source. You'd get some silly alert() dialog saying hey your not allowed. You even had users who would attempt to "obscure" the html by converting it to a encoded string that anyone could easily decode because it had to be for your average browsing user to actually see the page.

If this trend were to come back I would hope to see it quickly fade away because it'll just become a game of cat and mouse in which ultimately if you want your average user to see the content you have to give them the keys. Hopefully this type of locking becomes a thing of the past like it has before.

Does copy and paste not work?

Essentially there are two keys used to encrypt data on an iphone - one linked to the hardware (hardcoded and unique to each iphone, cannot be erased) and one linked to the software that's stored in NAND. After N attempts the NAND is erased and the key is lost thus all the data on the device is gone (one could try to brute force using a rainbow table style attack but at this point it's a lost cause because the amount of time it would take to decrypt the device). The NSA uses the old technique of copying this NAND to a backup and restoring it every time the device gets erased. This would give them infinite attempts at cracking the passcode with as little device meddling as possible

edit Apologies forgot to mention the passcode/fingerprint is tied into the 2 key process.
