Vancouver Airport blocking ads with information on travellers’ privacy rights
Good idea, bad approach. "Your phone isn't safe at the border" might be a hard fact but it's nonetheless an intentionally divisive expression of that sentiment. It's ambiguous, fearmongering.... facts can be clickbait, and this is one such case.If the ads said "You can be legally compelled to X, even if Y. Learn more about your airport rights at www.url.com" then it would be much less objectionable IMO.I don't get why campaigns keep making this mistake. Take the freaking high road. Imagine the mind of your opposition, and accomodate the low-hanging complaints they're going to have. Craft a message that's maximally agreeable to the people who disagree, while maintaining accuracy.Weasels on both sides here, IMO.
