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."

In its judgment, the General Court of the European Union strengthened the conciliation and regulatory powers of the European Data Protection Board.

"The DPC will have to continue its investigations into Meta unless it chooses to refer the matter to the European Court of Justice. Given the timeline of the original investigation, which began in 2018, it may still take several years before a final determination is made regarding the GDPR compliance of Meta’s business model, particularly in relation to behavioural advertising."
