Yeah... I'll live with bad advertising, rather than pave the way to 1984.
- vlovich123 3y agoAdvertising has nothing to do with political speech, free speech, or whether or not you can have a business. I think it’s a leap to claim that regulating and restricting some forms of commercial speech (equally across the board for all players btw) is on the road to 1984.
- JAlexoid 3y agoI was responding to the proposal to have a government run directory, to replace all and any advertising. Advertising is also a matter of freedom of speech. Political speech is absolutely advertising... and a business exists exclusively based on the ability to disseminate information about the existence of a business (aka advertising) What is "commercial speech"? It's one thing to talk about billboards, that take up public space... and advertising in general.
