Why for those under 16 in particular? It has no value for anybody at any age, and has apparently driven tons of adults insane.
But the right answer is still to ban advertising. And I don't mean just to those under 16.
- glial 9mo agoAgree, targeted advertising in particular is a trojan horse for many other internet-fueled social ills.
- marcosdumay 9mo ago> But the right answer is still to ban advertising. Banning platform owned advertising on social networks is already impossible. If you have any concept that is broader than that, rest assured trying it will create a dystopia that still has advertising.

- AngryData 9mo agoI assumed they meant banning most unsolicited advertising completely, even outside of social media. Advertizing is a scourge upon humanity. We know propaganda works and is generally bad, so why should propaganda be allowed to be used for money making purposes? Especially when money itself can and is used to influence politics even more directly?
- NoPicklez 9mo agoWhy not the same thing for alcohol? I think its fairly obvious why there are certain age restrictions for younger groups of people as they are more vulnerable.
- Hizonner 9mo agoBecause people actually want alcohol, whereas advertising is generally something they're stuck with.
