Comment on Inappropriate Ads on Child-Directed Websites: Weight Loss Pills and Depression Tests for Kids.
Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 days agoIt comes across like you feel we can’t protect gay/minority children from being exploited by huge corporations online because it would be homophobic to protect gay kids from psychological manipulation.
This is some weird ass fanfic you are writing about me for asking how the researchers came to their conclusions about LGBT ads, specifically, being judged to be inappropriate.

I’m also asking how the researchers came to their conclusions on what is and isn’t appropriate. Neither of us have the answer.
Beyons that you don’t seem to understand that an “are you gay?” test illegally targetted to children with the intent of stealing their data is much more likely to be hate speech than an “LGBT ad”.
You’re giving a lot of benefit of the doubt towards an online quiz breaking the law, psychologically manipulating and illegally targeting children, and barely any benefit of the doubt to scientific researchers and that bias seems really odd to me.
