Of course our ambition shouldn’t be limited to the US.
Burning the online advertising industry to the ground needs to be a global undertaking.

@slothrop there is nothing extreme about abolishing online for-profit voyeurism at a global scale.
@BernieWonIowa With no reference to commercial products, it would be the best way to recycle the resource already put into placing them @slothrop  @BernieWonIowa Billboard Liberation Front has attempted this approach. Some others have as well. It is an uphill battle.    @slothrop ahem, "burning the advertising industry to the ground..." Advertising doesn't suddenly become evil because it's online. @markhughes @slothrop correct, it's always been evil. Trying to get people to consume more and more while what we need is less consumption @slothrop @glitzersachen @slothrop Just think about how much of a catastrophe ML-based schemes could be, possibly even worse than crypto because the big names with real money all see it as having serious utility… @slothrop I have a very simple policy in life ever since I was a teen. The more I know a product from advertisements and not from my own research the more likely I am to not buy it. So for example I never shop at McDonalds or Burger King, I never buy stuff advertised like candy or chips, or beer, etc. Even extends to the more obnoxiously it is advertised the more I will avoid it. Simple method to vote with my democratic powers. :) |
@slothrop Yes! And not just online advertising. Also consider what they've turned our cities and public transport into, with nonconsensual digital outdoor advertising.
