Oh, just a ban on the targeting. The companies would still be alllowed to show as many ads, and as many different ads, as they’d want.

That’s interesting, and maybe better than what I had in mind.

When I was 19 I went to a sort of social pedagogy boarding school thing that we have in the Nordics, after that I got drafted and did alternative service, after that my brother had long since moved into my room, so moving back home wasn’t really on the table – at least not as I saw it.

It is apparently a movement, but it gets way too little attention: https://www.politico.eu/article/targeted-advertising-tech-privacy/

I dunno, they will still want people to stick around on their site, so they can see their ads.

Some of it can be accomplished by just setting universal demands for how social media works for all users:

• ban targeted advertising
• make it mandatory for companies to ensure algorithms don’t prioritize posts for making users angry, scared or depressed

Stuff like that. These kinds of regulations don’t involve ID checks, and could take care of a big chunk of the problem.
