Nah advertising to kids is a bunch of bullshit. It should not be allowed in general and definitely not for things that are harmful to them.

- ravenstine 3y agoIf it's bad for kids, what makes it any better for adults?
- briandear 3y agoAdults presumably are adults.
- treis 3y agoAdvertising at its core is one adult telling adult about something. There's utility there and it seems like a pretty fundamental right. Though I agree that it's warped into a bit of a monster and should be dialed in a bit.
- bondarchuk 3y agoSurely you can argue it is a fundamental right to have communication between consenting adults. But often in the case of advertising, the receiving party does not really have a choice. I would sooner argue that it should be a fundamental right to not be on the receiving end of communications you don't want, than that it should be a fundamental right to advertise to people who do not want to be advertised to.
- treis 3y ago>But often in the case of advertising, the receiving party does not really have a choice I can't think of a situation where that's true.
- Marsymars 3y agoThis is my key argument on why billboards and similar advertising that can’t be avoided if you’re in public shouldn’t be allowed. There’s been no consent obtained.
