Facebook advertisements are a public forum. Moreover, there is an intermediary party that can exercise review.
Direct mail is not a public forum. Moreover, who would accept or reject a direct mailing campaign?
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoHow are Facebook ads a public forum? They send an ad to the viewer of a page. They can, and do, control viewer-by-viewer who sees which ads. That's like sending an ad to a mailbox. But I wish I could reject direct mail campaigns...
- justizin 7y agomany of them are promoted posts, with discussion, and which are re-shared by individuals to their network.
- AnimalMuppet 7y agoOK, but that's like you got something interesting in the mail (or even email), and forwarded it to someone. That's still not a public forum.
- 18pfsmt 7y agoWe are going to wreck FB within 5 years with something far less centrally controlled, and you want to waste government resources on this? The company is 15 years old. Math doesn't work that way or bitcoin would be toast.
