honest question: why is it OK if it's adult that's targeted but not OK if it's children? Literally any argument you apply to the latter applies to the former:

honest question: why is it OK if it's adult that's targeted but not OK if it's children? Literally any argument you apply to the latter applies to the former:
1. still developing -> adults technically are, too.
2. more naive -> naivete is a function of life experience. there are plenty of naive adults.
etc.
how about we just not advertise, at all. this is virtue signaling at its finest. as long as advertising is targeted, children will be targeted. marketers will just make their efforts more opaque.
- unholycrab 9y agoYou sound like a pedophile.
- spraak 9y agoBecause children are dependent, but an adult, presumably, has the capacity and capabilities to make their own informed and mature decisions. It's often not true, since emotionally and spiritually many adults are still kids, but that's not the point.
- tabeth 9y agoWhat is the point then? Why not just stop targeting people in general?
