Sounds like a good idea for a lawsuit against FB and Twitter. Of course, their CEO’s hold the correct politics.
IMO, we Americans are subjected to far too much advertising.
IMO, if we want to be subjected to less of that abuse of our time, a tax on that “nuisance” should be implemented.
I think that if the IRS would limit the tax deductibility of “advertising expenses” to, say, $1,000,000 per year, America would go a long way towards reducing this “nuisance”.
The most powerful “big businesses” would then have a financial reason to reconsider the effectiveness of their offensive advertising campaigns and programs. Hopefully, they would then decide to stop cluttering up our internet with their annoying “push-ads”.
Meanwhile, “small businesses” and individuals could still advertise their products and services in their local markets, ideally, in NEW local news publications.
If my proposed new advertising tax triggers the re-birth of small news publishers, that would reduce the power of those modern “news” conglomerates that are now perverting our ideal of a “free press”.
