Isn't "organised advertising" just [groups of] "ordinary citizens"?

At what point does a group of people stop being "friends helping each other,
because they share a common aim" and becomes "organised political activity"?

Seems to me they're just arbitrary labels on one continuous spectrum.

Why should a larger group be penalised through additional regulations simply
because they happened to be more effective at getting their act together?
Isn't that just evolution / natural selection / democracy in action?
