However I don't see the report linked anywhere in the article, but I do see sporadic statements from the NY A.G. which were made 5/6/2021.
If these were criminal actions created by the previous FCC chair, e.g. using a citizen's name to submit a false comment, the actors at the FCC and at "Broadband for America" should to be held accountable.
How will they be used to disrupt software?
Haha. Adtech is not there to "help people". Back in the day, prior to television and radio, ads were there to provide information about a product, but those days are long since past. Ads now-a-days appeal to emotional and irrational wants/desires, this is common knowledge. Ads attempt to generate needless sales by marketing to irrational and emotional desires.
Adtech on the other hand, is there to drive irrational and unneeded consumerism and consumption just as well, it just happens to have some additional evil sprinkled on top. For example, adtech violates human privacy, adtech marginalizes the open web, and turns it into a creepy surveillance nightmare.
To say that "At fundamental level, Adtech is there to help people." is delusional and unintentionally hilarious. I am going to swing in the dark and say the GP must be an employee of facebook
Although, I support setting a similar type of legislation targeting Major websites ( 50 million+ active users ) to enforce something akin to the Fairness Doctrine.
Other than that, a long-term solution is to improve education so that a democratic society has enough critical thinking skills to make better judgements.
With that said, all the conspiracy peddling may actually condition people to be more critical. I see the youth today as far better at detecting bullshit, simply from being exposed to so much of it.
