While this may be true, and monitoring your kids' internet exposure is generally good, can we please not turn the fediverse into Facebook? I hate this kind of alarmist shit.
"Hey kid, want some happysticks?"
You don’t want to sell me happy sticks. You want to go home and rethink your life.
Aint this is a crime in the US?
Its supposed to be but idk how it's regulated over the internet.
The same way it is in the physical world. It's illegal.
Well, internet is not spme ether. Websites are owned by legal entities registered within certian jurisdictions to do business.
Presumably bereal is regiatered within US and subject to US law thay it is currently violating.
A report within app is a start, them report it to attorney general office in your state with proper evidence...
Screenshots and proper outline of facts so an state attorney can work with it.
Granted US is corpo dystopia but if peoppe did this more maybe it would be less so.

Doesn't matter where you're registered, if you're selling your services in a country you have to follow the laws of that country.
I don't know if advertising cigarettes is illegal in the US or not.
TMK it's not a crime only advertising to children, but it definitely should be.
Is this that "capture what you're doing" app?
I don't believe people would use that for nefarious means. No way!
never heard about this app, but where do you have to live to get cigarette ads at all? I'm pretty sure we made that illegal in canada and I never saw any while travelling either.
Apparently still legal in the US

The problem is enforcement rather than legality.
You let your kids watch ads?
Let them use freedom respecting software. Don't give your kids crack.
Nearly all social media apps teenagers use accept such ads, BeReal is just cheaper because it has less users.
I stopped using BeReal a few months ago after they kept adding unwanted features (the entire point of this app was its simplicity) and my friends were leaving the app. Sad to see it has these kind of ads now.
Something that may be important to know: BeReal had this controversy where they sold survey data to Facebook, am pretty sure it said no data is shared.
Pics?
there's ways to impliment adblock dns.
