We ban targeted ads. Great but then what? My oldest is 17, no targeted ads to him so that means he gets a million political ads. To me, it is just as problematic. I would argue that under 18, there should be zero ads. Yeah I know it will never happen.

Ban political ads? That one seems like an immediate win anyways.

You think a 17 years old should be protected from political content? They are pretty much an adult and are able to vote in some places…

[black_knight]

I don’t think political ads should be legal. Political information should be freely available to all, including children. But in no way should we be bombarded with the manipulation from whatever political entities have the most cash at hand.

[dgellow]

That’s a different claim then, you’re against political ads as a whole, not based on age. The fact that your teenager is 17 doesn’t feel relevant for your position

[jml78]

As I responded above, my 17 can't vote in the coming election and my 13 year old gets the same ads.

Sorry, under 18, should be 100% no to political ads. These companies know who is under 18.

I suspect that political ands anre more about laundering money from campaigns to friends than about actually affecting the election.

He isn't eligible to vote this coming election. So fuck yeah he shouldn't have to sit through that bullshit.
