there needs to be so much more legislation when it comes to advertising, especially mobile adverts which are 99% lies and often predatory.

my suggestions:

-adverts cannot lie about the product they are advertising

-adverts cannot trick you into clicking them (eg. false X's to close the ad)

-adverts cannot pretend to be the app you are currently playing and say "you need to update the app!"

-adverts cannot, under any circumstance, have strobing lights

-adverts cannot bully or belittle the viewer (genuinely why is this one a thing ads do)

-advertising gambling should be illegal

-advertising addictive products should be illegal

-no hate speech of any kind

-no attempting to convert the viewer to any religion

-ADVERTS SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO FORCE OPEN THE APP STORE ON ANY DEVICE

I'd also add to the "false x" point above -- the ad must be easy to close/dismiss. None of these too small a set of pixels to accurate tap with a finger thing.

Once closed, an ad cannot return nor can it be replaced with a new ad.

Once you hit the x it should immediately close the ad instead of taking you to another stage of the ad that you will not be able to close for a certain amount of time

Hi, the vast majority of these tactics are illegal in the US already, but they're widely underreported.

If you see any of these things, please take a screenshot or screen recording and submit a report to the FTC:

Include as much detail as possible and keep reporting new false ads when you see one. The FTC focuses their enforcement based on the reports they receive.

FEMA is doing an emergency alert test on all TVs, radios, and cell phones on October 4, 2023, at approximately 2:20pm ET.

If you live in the US and you have a phone you need to keep secret for any reason, make sure that it is turned off at this time.

Yes, I'm doing this months in advance, and yes, my blog has very little reach, but I figure better to post about it more than less.

Please reblog and add better tags than mine, I'm bad at tags.

Also, when you finally turn your phone back on, make sure you are alone or can otherwise midigate the sound. Because it WILL go off the second you turn your phone back on.

Please be safe 💜

I dont know if this will go as badly as the UK test did, but the advice for at risk people DID NOT WORK for us, many people had their phones go off despite turning off the relevant settings and turning off their phones despite assurances that turning off your phone would be enough to prevent the alert.

I would highly suggest that you do not leave room for technical errors and that you store secret phones in a safe location where it cannot be heard, maybe with a friend or loved one that you can trust. Or perhaps go out with your phone to a public place.

~~OCTOBER 4TH APPROACHES~~

If you haven't figured out a safe place to go or to stash your phone before now, you have less than 2 days left.

go go go fight fight fight

Happy birthday Queen

Wow we all queued this post for Nov 12th huh

get his ass

(x) and a bit more detail:

A whooooooole lot of evangelical places should get shut down

For those who don't know what this means (like I didn't), a church is a 501c3 organization: a tax exempt entity. In order for it to stay that way they may not get involved in legislature- including endorsing a political candidate. So if you witness someone doing this, you can report them to the IRS using form 13909. (If you're in the US)

Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Animal Crossing Sticker Sheets made by IllustrateChrissy

as requested, i’ve uploaded the 4 tile velociraptor fossil design from jurassic park!

creator ID: MA-6352-6078-6250 :)

i tweaked the darker tones slightly after taking the screenshots so some pixels may look a tiny bit different, but the overall design is the same as in the images 🦖 it works on any dirt colour, sand or grass!
