Are you serious? Or is this sarcasm?
If you're serious: you're welcome of course to an opinion that google is right to block scams, and / or that most cryptocurrency ads are scams.
But you can't really believe that adults stop being adults, or that consent to judge the merits of, for example an ad, suddenly evaporates in the presence of a scam?
Is the presence of a scam sufficient to warrant treatment of the involved individuals like children?
That sounds like an awful world.
- danmaz74 9y agoScam = based on lies. EG I tell you that your money will be used to do X, while instead I use it to buy a new home for myself. If one is lying, the others aren't "consenting".
- jMyles 9y agoI think I'm reasonably capable of giving consent to a situation wherein I know I'll need to discern truth from lies. I mean, I understand there's a limit to human agency, but the mere presence of a scam in a google add isn't close to it, at least for my worldview.
