It almost makes me want to push for an advertising freeze on anyone who can't or won't prove their ID and age.

But I know it won't actually result in companies lobbying against requiring ID, it would just result in them lobbying to advertise more directly to children.

    So right, advertising is manipulation, always has been, it's propaganda if it's political. Both propaganda and manipulation are considered immoral widely, but your average social media company gets a pass. Why? I posit good advertising (sigh), and lobbying. Fuck that.
