Ban Online Behavioral Advertising, please Mr. #facebook and Mrs. #meta
"Such targeting supercharges the efforts of fraudulent, exploitive, and misleading advertisers. It allows peddlers of shady products and services to reach exactly the people who, based on their online behavior, the peddlers believe are most likely to be 🤪vulnerable to their messaging. Too often, what’s good for an advertiser is actively harmful for their targets"

![Three-panel image macro, based on screenshots from the animated series The Simpsons. The top panel shows pub owner Moe Syszlak, holding perpetual drunkard Barney Gumble by his collar and his pants and throwing him out of his tavern. Barney is labelled, "Friendica". The middle panel shows only Moe, wiping his hands and looking after off-panel Barney with squinted eyes. Moe is labelled, "Facebook (now Meta)". He represents Facebook after making Friendica's bidirectional federation illegal and thus throwing Friendica out. The bottom panel shows shows Moe in an akimbo stance, his fists pressed against his hips as if guarding the entrance to his tavern so that Barney won't come back in. He does not notice that Barney, labelled "Friendica" again, has already entered his tavern again, and he is standing right behind him.
