Lol. Yeah now imagine if the people who stood to profit the most controlled the creation and enforcement of the laws that protect society from their influence. There would be crazy stuff like commercials for pharmaceuticals instead of your doctor just prescribing what you need. There'd be intentional subliminal messaging aimed at the developing minds of children. We would have services that we already pay for be inundated with ads after we've been coaxed into a subscription. Every single place you looked would be an ad. Millions of gallons of water and KWh of power would just go to showing us ads for things we don't need...
We don't have a free market. The invisible hand thing is a lie sold to goobers who think that capitalism is the most natural state of humanity. The invisible hand is the whims of like 10 people and they don't give a fuck about anyone else. They would burn us all alive for a dollar and you think freedom is letting them brainwash children to buy plastic shit. Great work.
There’s a reason you don’t see uncensored sex or drug use in commercials do you think that would be okay? What if a company used real photos of crime scenes or torture to grab your attention? Their is a line to be drawn somewhere and regulation is completely necessary.

Children shouldn't be exposed to advertisements at all, and many advertising techniques aimed at adults shouldn't be legal either.
