I know they allow scam adverts because it’s easy money, but why aren’t they held responsible for facilitating obvious scams? You open Edge, there’s 3 “Earn money quick” adverts. On Instagram, every 5 ads, one is a scam.

    Businesses exist to make profit, not to take care of you. Corporations will only care about your welfare to the extent that that creates profit for them or the laws require them to.

        Yes, I know. I also agree.

        The comment I replied to, however, was not that. It asked why the corporations’ reason is valid. It’s valid because that’s what the economic system is designed to promote.

      While also complaining its not fair when we protect ourselves from the business they won’t protect us from e.g. ad blockers.

      Google going so far to invent “Web drm” to ensure we have no choice but allow them to serve us malicious ads that the won’t filer themselves

      And then they complain when we tell them that we want to overthrow capitalism.

      It’s giving „you have to accept being harmed because otherwise my business can’t turn a profit“

      Fuk yo business then, don give a shit about it.
