Why would an advertiser go with Facebook instead of a newspaper or a podcast or some other outlet where ads can align with content, if not for the cheat of targeted ads? Answer: They wouldn’t. Advertising dollars would flow back into the wider economy rather than being FB’ed

So by banning targeted ads, you take a huge step towards solving the monopoly issues with Facebook and Google (at least in the ads biz), you kill the incentive to be lax on misinformation, and you kill the incentive to collect and hoard personal data. Win-win-win

Targeted ads is a very recent phenomenon! It doesn’t have to be our final destination. We can look at the immense harm it has caused to competition and privacy, witness the social goods we lost (like local newspapers) and what we gained (Newsfeed?), and decide this was a mistake!

We decided asbestos was a mistake. That smoking in bars and on airplanes was a mistake. That cars getting 10mpg was a mistake. Targeted advertisement is a societal-scale mistake of which we are still unraveling the horrific consequences. Time to ban.

There’s not going to be one solution for all the problems of big tech, but banning targeted advertisement would go a very long way towards tackling many of the root causes. As the first action, this has my vote.
@RepCicilline, how about it

I don’t necessarily disagree, but what about the many thousands of small biz owners whose entire pipeline depends on these ads? So many would completely go out of biz. It’s also cheaper to test a market and start a new biz by using FB/Google.

There are fewer small businesses now than there ever was. Targeted ads benefit big players far more than small players. And they’ve financed much of the big tech tyranny.

No need to ban targetted ads. Just apply the gdpr in full. REquire explicit consent from people on the use of data. Ban all cookies and data transfers between adtech actors. This industry will die instantenously.
