Seems like this submission is a bit undercooked. It probably should have been submitted once they had some real world samples or at least gated it to their specific use case

I believe if you look in your ads settings, you can disable ads about alcohol products explicitly. Take a look and good luck man.

> Pass laws to make it illegal to advertise to people under 18. Yes, let's get ads out of cartoons and out of newspapers that carry comics sections. I'm sure that will go well.

And namecheap protects spammers. I'm pretty sure this is the combo you go with if you want to do borderline illegal things.

I mean it is a bit odd that this is from 2012 and was reposted today. It's almost like it was posted because there hadn't been a negative story in while

Exactly, we have no idea if HN is supressing positive stories in an experiment or not. Twitter, reddit, FB, tictok all sort content by magic and could be trying to make you sad.

I think your privacy efforts are working against you. You turned of personalized ads and wondering why the ads you are getting aren't personalized. With nothing else to key off of, you're going to get the bottom of the barrel ads

slashdot had good bones, but what it was missing was a pool of known good moderators. Without them, you end up with a death spiral as bad actors upvote and meta moderate each other and drive good mods away.

It seems like the creators are heading towards a libel lawsuit if they keep that up on their site.

That's some pretty tricky wording there. They are basically saying that you could target someone who reads something in Apple News for an ad in the App Store. This is behavior that they are preventing other companies from doing effecti

I agree, there's a lot of valuable posts on my feed. A lot of posts here seem to be written by people who don't use social media

Your problem is that people are allowed to find people and talk about things that you think they shouldn't talk about? Even in your example, you had to go digging pretty far for that group -- you didn't accidentally happen upon it

Exactly. There are so many people who have an extremely cynical view of the world based on what they learned online. The idea of an honest politician or company seems impossible to them. I just hope that it doesn't lead to self-fulfill

But if telegram sells to FB or someone worse, you will be in a worse position as now they will not only have your metadata, but also the full text of your messages. It doesn't make since to move away from one company for privacy reason

If I'm a new grocery in your city, what keywords should I put my ads under? People don't usually search for "groceries around me" more than once, and if you don't happen to ever drive by the storefront, you'll

Yes but the number of slots are limited with radio and print and a national brand would not hesitate to outbid a local business if it thought it could bring in one more customer.

I don't know why the news media hasnt innovated like Hulu or Netflix or Apple music or Spotify or... has in the wake of the internet. It's like they think that they are a special form of media or something. They seemed content to

I still can't find the settings on Twitter (web) to get a plain normal feed. I still get them pushing "topics" and my friend's liked content in my feed.

That's fair. I will say that unlike previous APIs, Facebook looks to be dotting their i's and crossing their t's so that everyone is on the same page. A reason a lot of the previous APIs were removed was because the New York
