If you assign a foreign-sounding word to it, it sounds more official.

The offer is there. It's freedom, and most people don't want it.

The headline and article are written as if it's somehow outrageous that a text could do this, but when an old-school verbal shout can trigger a lynching, if anything, it would be a letdown if an electronic message couldn't.

I can't speak for an individual ad I haven't seen. Even if I did see it, I don't necessarily know marketing enough to analyze it. I just know that the purpose can be broader than your post was originally giving it credit for.

Shunning as pseudopunishment is silly. If it's not a problem, let them be. If it is a problem, fine them or arrest them.

It is like that in the sense that both are truer than you apparently give them credit for. How many people use, say, facebook or instagram from the dedicated phone app they sought out and installed vs searching for facebook in google and us

Firstly, you probably could do what you mean for that specific piece, at least once or twice. But more importantly, that statement presupposes the wrong intended purpose.
