      Everyone knows children are used as excuses to get what you want pushed through. Just look at UK’s Online Safety Bill trying to get a backdoor to E2E messaging, claiming it’s to prevent CSAM.

    The biggest punchline of all of this is that our tax dollars are paying for this propaganda. Not in my name.

    The G.I. Joe cartoon was straight up propaganda. There was an Alvin and the Chipmunks ep about the Berlin Wall, too. 80s sucked.

    Politicizing children is just not acceptable, no matter which side you’re on.

    Agreed, but that wasn’t the ads purpose, did you actually read up on it? It wasn’t supposed to be shown to the under 18 crowd, and the wording of the ad itself was clearly for parents, not kids.

      and yet, it somehow made it into a kids game. The core issue here is the uncontrolled content display. Imagine some NSFW ads slip through into a kids app. Therefore, ads must be forbidden in apps intended for underaged.
