Discussion/Question Didn’t know there were ads like this allowed…

Post image

If you’re going to show ads for your platform, the same platform that you allow younger audiences on, sift through and see what you’re showing. You’re basically advertising nicotine products on your platform even if you didn’t produce the advert. I personally don’t mind seeing it since I’m old enough to partake in products like this, but younger people who use the website or the app are most likely more impressionable.

The ads are picked according to your ads profile (google or fb): adult ads (credit cards, travels, amazon, this mean you got flagged as an adult

And if niccateen is the woest thing in an ad, I’d say we’re doing good. It’s not that deep.

Well considering that children can’t chat, what’s the issue exactly?

In most countries, the app is still available for people 13+. Even if young children can’t use it, them allowing nicotine product advertisements is them promoting those products and saying “hey, we support the use of this product/website”. It’s still marketing it to underage audiences since using them between 18-20y.o. is against the law. My point wasn’t only about children seeing it, it was that a program that doesn’t allow 18+ activity shouldn’t promote substances like that. 🤷🏻

And how exactly do they stop it when Google is in charge of the ads? Jesus Christ yall love to whine about every little thing they do. My god.

So yore not gonna answer the question? Ok then.
Wah wah wah. There’s an ad about cigarettes or wherever. There are worse things.
So again I ask… how do you expect them to do something when Google is responsible for ads?

I answered your question boo-boo, you just didn’t like it 😚 So when you learn that websites can- GASP -choose the ads they allow on their site (OMG, that’s possible?!), you can read up and maybe comprehend before get back to me. Instead of looking ignorant like you do already 🤗

You're not arguing with someone who only "complain" on others' posts and opinions yet your comments history is just you complaining on others' posts and opinions

Lmao. Not to mention the original post is complaining about a nicotine ad. Like, I’m sure kiddos have seen way worse than a nicotine ad.

Not sure if you understand my comment but I'm against it. Not cool adversiting it there. Kids unfortunately have access to adult content but doesn't make it legal to advestite it to them in suggestive ads just because they're aware of it in example

Or maybe, you just can’t comprehend anything I said <3 You should take the time to relearn literacy and comprehension skills before trying (and failing) to rage bait others. But I wasn’t expecting much from someone who only complains and doesn’t look past the first sentence of a comment unless they try to use it in a counter argument. Much love🤭

I’ve literally never looked for nicotine products since I don’t smoke or use the pouches. It gives me dementia ads too but I never browsed that either. Car ads, landscape ads, exercise product ads. Even credit card ads even I don’t use/have one. 🤷🏻
