It’s time for a digital protection agency
As usual, a bunch of nonsense by people who have no idea about this.<p>The fundamental problem is that digital advertising is a 12-figure global industry with practically 0 oversight and regulation. This is an industry that sells influence at scale. Anyone with a credit card can start changing how people think and act but there are absolutely no real consequences for bad actors.<p>Even the most minimal laws around who can advertise and how would radically change everything. Google has even more data than Facebook. Amazon has just as much. Your ISP has just as much. These silly little projects to chase the latest scandal will do nothing in the long run. The only way to fix anything is to regulate the core, not try and fix every little symptom that occurs.<p>* Before the inevitable comments, yes advertising works, yes it works on you no matter how much you think otherwise, and no adblockers dont magically solve everything.
