Can you rephrase that question? I did not set out to prove anything, so I'm not sure what you mean.


Sorry for the technical jargon, I was referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proving_too_much

Basically, your argument seems fully generalized:

> Even untargetted ads exploit peoples insecurities to sell them things they're better off without.

Eg I assume you do not want to demonize bakers selling bread to hungry people? Or more generally, anyone selling any product you do not agree with to someone who has a need you don't like?

So where do we draw the line, and why?
