Parents.of teenagers, the BeReal app is advertising cigarettes to your children. My 17 year old son, at breakfast this morning, showed me an ad for Newport cigarettes for $11.05 per pack. Please monitor your children's online activities!
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.
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.
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.
