The American Astronomical Society is calling for a global ban on space advertising.

The society declared that humankind’s scientific understanding of the universe is under threat from space activities.

“No private company has the moral right to jeopardize any of that,” he added. It’s not clear whether other nations would sign onto a global ban, but the AAS called for the U.S. delegation to the United Nation’s Committee on the Peaceful Uses of Outer Space to help push to keep the skies clear of space ads..
