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.

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
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.
