      Organisations aren’t entitled to use automated systems to alter people’s behaviour (i.e. here they’re using an algorithm to maximise the number of ad clicks). It should only be allowed if it’s in the interests of the people affected, and with their (informed) agreement

        I am betting it was already in that 40 page agreement you clicked when you singed up 😞

        where would the line between manipulation and traditional advertisement be? theaters frequently exhaust the buttery scent in areas where theatergoers will be to intice them, casinos avoid 90° angels and clocks to disorientate customers and promote time blindness.

            It’s a common mistake for even native speakers. Dessert 🎂 vs desert 🏜️ is another common one

            On a 777 the angels blind you with divine light so you can’t find your way out of the slot machines.
