Comment on Spotify caught hosting hundreds of fake podcasts that advertise selling drugs
pineapplepizza@lemm.ee 8 hours agoLegal drugs should not be advertised either. Drugs or other treatments should be prescribed by a doctor based on a review of the actual symptoms and side effects to the patient. A drug advertisement will generally tell you the key words to tell the doctor and may be missing other factors.
I have symptoms C, L and Q. What treatment plan will be best. Vs. I want drug X because I have symptoms X Y and Z.

Yes, I agree. And based on your belief, if you said you are absolutely destroyed that people were watching network television when pharmaceutical companies were advertising on those channels, I would think that that’s an overreaction. If you said that the viewers just didn’t care about other people’s well-being or about society, I would also disagree with that conclusion.
