An open-source, federated, and privacy-protecting alternative to the dominant advertising services. Something that gives the individual web user full control of which ads they see; from which indies, organizations, companies or any other groups. And where they can also filter ads based on clear categories, values, or tags, rather than everything being dictated by algorithms and "relevancy".

I think that is called eMail-Newsletters...

eMail is federated, there are newsletter-services that are open source, and you can subscribe and unsubscribe very easily.
