WHAT IF WE MADE #advertising ILLEGAL?

"But why? It makes perfect sense. The financial #incentives to create #addictivedigitalcontent would instantly disappear, and so would the mechanisms that allow both commercial and political actors to create personalized, reality-distorting bubbles:

. Clickbait, listicles, and affiliate marketing schemes would become worthless overnight.
. Algorithm-driven platforms like Instagram and TikTok that harvest and monetize attention, destroying youth, would lose their economic foundation.
.Facebook, X, Google, YouTube—all would cease to exist in their current forms.

#Adcompanies are never going to regulate themselves—it's like hoping for heroin dealers to write drug laws."
