Marketing can be really broad. You can market a shirt or you can convince someone to join a cult. And you can find out if someone is more likely to join a cult through the gathered data.
If you don't see the dangers of propaganda and misinformation, like I said:
Just saying cold calling and door-to-door is the same as the data gathering tactics now shows your ignorance on the topic.
So you want kids to understand cocaine and heroin and sex by a professional instead of a priest. If they don't then in your logic, they will fall on deaf ears.
Language is incredible. You can describe experiences that others have without actually being there or doing those things. It even works with fiction! Or horrible events like war! Or even drugs without exposing them to it!
Gatekeeping the Internet works the same way. If you’re going to do that, you might as well download the sex offender registry and invite them all to the kid’s birthday party.
I never said to prevent them from using the internet, I said social media.
While NSA did not possess the equipment required to access the footage from the media format in which it was preserved, NSA deemed the footage to be of significant public interest and requested assistance from the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) to retrieve the footage. NARA’s Special Media Department was able to retrieve the footage contained on two 1" AMPEX tapes and transferred the footage to NSA to be reviewed for public release.
This was a story a couple of months ago. Glad it worked out.
Direct mailing, cold calling, lead farming, door-to-door
None of those compare to what is happening now. Those are playing wack a mole hoping to get a sale. What's happening now is recording everything you show a reaction to, whether enjoyable or not, and use it against the user.
A list of names, address from marketers is nothing compared to the amount of data tech companies are getting from individuals.

Marketing, news, and propaganda of the past never targeted people directly. It's also not just feeding them content, it's also taking and storing massive amounts of data from the user that will be used against them.
I was programming when I was in first grade. I was doing computer graphics and word processing somewhere around there. Those are important skillsets to have. I made use of those. You want kids to pick those up. You do not want to push those back. I’d get a computer of whatever form into their hands at the earliest point that they can avoid destroying it.
Most kids aren't improving their skillsets. They definitely aren't programming on cell phones. I am a programmer. I have code editors that I paid for on my phone at all times. I've used them like 5 times at most.
Social media and misinformation is damaging for everyone but more so for children. Social media is what kids are mostly doing.
I agree that there can positives for using a cell phone. Their are educational software but most kids aren't doing that.
The French government said that Telegram is being used to distribute illegal material like child pornography. He is not accused of distributing it himself.
Google Photos is pretty good at this. My cousin showed me that putting in past pictures of her kids, it tell which one is which. It was creepy how good it was.
Looking at the Street View, it's a mini roundabout, with barely any space. A mini roundabout has no stop signs. There's building in the corner that might be blocking the view of other cars. And I'm pretty sure no one follows the speed limit.
Jimmy Carter gave up his peanut farm when he became president. After his presidency, Rosalynn and Jimmy spent their time building affordable housing. Rosalynn passed away last year on November 19. at the age of 96. They were married for 77 years.
Crazy how some people view what a good leader is now...
