Meta platforms like Instagram and Facebook that are full of manosphere bile, climate denial, and wellness “research” – most of which is paid content.
But Good Law Project’ve built an online tool that can help you fight back. You can tell Meta owner Mark Zuckerberg to stop targeting you with paid content. It only takes two minutes.

2/2 Does it make you, a reader of The Times of India, feel like you are one among 1.2 crore readers? Even if so, it presumes that you already own the Jaquar shower enclosure and you are singing to them, the 1.2 crore readers of The Times of India.

What connection do the readers of any newspaper have to do with you singing in the shower?

It's clear that the brand and the agency were trying something clever here, but it completely eludes me.
