Regulations can protect freedoms, but they don’t create them. Freedom is inherent. Regulations protect.


And when freedoms are being infringed, regulations need to be brought in. Hence banning ads online


Your freedom isn't being infringed by seeing an ad lol, what a hilarious suggestion


Advertisement commoditizes attention, which incentivizes tech companies to exploit and manipulate people to get their attention. Thats unacceptable. The proposal was to get rid of ads online to combat that. Its a bit drastic, but the logic is clear


Yeah most of them


Really? It seems like you can't name a single one.

You already engaged with this discussion but your only engagement was to proudly proclaim that you don't engage. How do you square that circle?

Meanwhile you can't name a single right that isn't supported by regulation.
