"Commercial free childhood"

Every comment here seems to be around social medial. That doesn't seem to be their ploy. They object to commercials.

- Video Shows (TV/Streaming/Insert anything that needs sponsorship)

- Any Visual media

- Food

- Toys

- insert anything that is sold.

Because Facebook, along with Google, are modern day Robber Barons of Surveillance Capitalism. They monitor behavior and use that information to target ads.

Sure, cereal companies know that big boxes with cute characters at kid-height sells sugar pops. But Facebook knows every like, every friend request, every post, every message... check-ins at businesses. They combine the social anxiety of adolescence with advertising. It’s sick. Adults are easily manipulated. Children even more so.
