(draft) protection against advertisement

Postby CommunistAnarchicDemocracy » Fri Jul 21, 2017 12:00 am

Strength: mild

The wa resolves:

1 search engines may not charge anyone for the order of appearance of items on a webpage that is not clearly labeled as an advertisement.

2 advertisment s may not associate the brand or logo of a product or service with health if it is not legally proven to be safe and salutary.

3 tacit statements in visiual advertisment shall be banned, unless a legal statement is made in the advertisement.

4 advertisments may not show a product directly affect human behevior/mood, unless it is proven to directly affect human behavior or mood.

This isn't a question for the Security Council. It could be workable into a General Assembly proposal, whose forum is across the hall.

"I see the WA is as nitpicky as always," snorts Ixhua. "Now you're going after advertisement? Let's take this from the top:"

"I don't even know what this is supposed to do. Are you trying to say search engines can't rearrange search results to support an advertiser? I don't know of a single search engine that does that in the first place."

2 advertisment s may not associate the brand or logo of a product or service with health if it is not legally proven to be safe and salutary.


"I don't think this does what you think it does. In Naqil, if you want something legally proven, all you need to do is slip a judge a hundred adal. You can prove chickens have teeth that way. All it does is add extra expense to advertisers."

3 tacit statements in visiual advertisment shall be banned, unless a legal statement is made in the advertisement.


"So in other words, they need to word everything very awkwardly to avoid accidently making a tacit statement, and you can't show a can of cocoa with cocoa beans surrounding it without making a long drawn out statement that yes your cocoa has cacao in it. So stupid."

4 advertisments may not show a product directly affect human behevior/mood, unless it is proven to directly affect human behavior or mood.


"You want all advertising to show emotionless drones, then?"
This nation's views do not necessarily coincide with my own. Please assume all statements are IC unless specified otherwise.

The Naqin Ambassador is Ixhua of House Yavuas. She's extremely traditionalist, and is known to have her eye on the Presidency for when President Dratan retires.

Essu Beti is my puppet, in theory. In actuality I use Essu Beti as more or less my default these days even though this account came first.

OOC: *cough*Google*cough* But at least it marks them as advertizement.

Apologies for absences, non-COVID health issues leave me with very little energy at times.
