I am getting really tired of thinking about the children, and I'm getting real tired of the government forcing bullshit legislation over it. Let the parents think of the children and let's get the government working on some real shit for a change.
This stuff has been going on since the dawn of marketing. Should we also kill off makeup commercials? Maybe just not allow anyone even moderately attractive to post pictures of themselves online, in ads or appear on TV? Make them cover their faces in public? We can't have children seeing other humans and getting upset that they don't look like them!
If parents actually gave a shit about any of this, they would just not allow their children access to these things.
Data collection should be limited by the government, that is not a decision to an avarage parent.
I've got no love for FB, or social media in general for that matter, but why are they suing them for it instead of coming up with actual regulation to address the issues? It's all just a show and the fact that barely anyone sees it means they are winning. You're all victims of propaganda.
I have no idea how US lawmaking works. I thought that through precedent cases they sometimes can enforce things and reach consensus.
I really don't think we need to keep adding more laws that no one will follow to be honest. The government acts like it cares about children, yet they budget laughable numbers to their education. We should be providing some of the best education programs in the world to our future generations. Give them the tools necessary to cut through the bullshit and make good decisions for themselves.
They want us to be morons so we rely on them to make decisions for us. It's sickening how many people eagerly just give away their agency.
This lawsuit has nothing to do with data collection
I’m actually all for banning commercials and ads yes thank you. The rise of marketing as an industry has caused more toxicity than any other
Well, it is a capitalist nation. You also don't have to watch them and you certainly don't need to act on them. Commercials help fund television. If you don't want to see them, don't watch TV. Unless you think that should just all be offered for free. Actors should work for free, camera crews, sound, lighting, writers.. all free, right?
You also don't have to watch them and you certainly don't need to act on them.
You say that as if ads don't have a subconscious influence
Have a stronger will.
