advertisement falls under freedom of speech as long as no spurious claims are made. people have free will. the evil advertising box doesn't force people to do anything.

I noted that DanielBMarkham didn't have to stretch that far and use examples such as a resume service as preying on the "weakness" of humans not being able to write as an reducio ad absurdum argument that cellis has an overly broad definition of human weakness when cellis stated that a large portion of firms in a capitalist economy prey on some human weakness or another. I continued to note that the psychologically manipulative tactics used in advertisement are used by a large portion of firms in a capitalism economy in order to prey on some human weakness or another, implying that it is not as broad a definition of human weakness as DanielBMarkham makes it out to be.
