Are you being facetious?
Identifying demographics and targeting the marketing to them is the bread and butter of modern advertising. The entire justification for Google's and Facebook's mass consumer surveillance is to offer corporations more targeted advertising.
There are gray areas but if you're marketing to children, you know you're marketing to children.
- jciochon 8y agoThat’s all well and good but despite your indignation you haven’t actually explained what it means to market to children. Maybe I accept your premise that marketeers know how to single out specific demographics, but I don’t work in marketing so I have no idea what separates “marketing at children” versus just marketing in general.
- tyfon 8y agoThere is not a specific black/white for this but if you have to ask you are usually on the wrong side. For cases like this it's much easier to evaluate it case by case.
