What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? California
Hello, so I have a question that I will try to describe as best as I could.
Question is: Do I have the right to force stop any technology that broadcasts "promotion of ignorance"? And if so, where can I go to sign up for that?
So let me describe this as best as possible.
You know when you're watching TV and it's time for commercials? The TV station plays 4 or 5 commercials. Yet lately in the "now-a-days", a lot of the commercials that you see are very annoying, non-as informative as they should be, and seem like they have been produced by some high school drop-out (please bare with me and continue reading; don't let that last sentence make my post sound immature; it gets more mature & logical after this paragraph).
**NOTE** I want you to try to remember how commercials were about 10 to 15 years ago compared to today's commercials. Think about it for a few minutes. Remember how more simple, more informative & intelligent they were? Even the music played in those older commercials were not annoying sounding like today's commercial music. Yet you still see those good commercials today, but very rarely.
This also applies to commercials that are played on YouTube. You see how many commercials are played on there that are very annoying, right?
Let's get to the main point here. I have been noticing that having those commercials show up and play, instead of the good commercials, may be causing me harm to my mental health very slowly over time. That is not a good thing at all!!! That's terrible!
Let me state this as well: I'm not trying to find some work-around for the commercials that are played in general; I do Not mind watching commercials that are actually intelligent, simple and informative! I would LOVE to only see those types of commercials being played in replacement of the bad commercials. Obviously I have the right to manually mute those bad commercials when they show up, but I shouldn't stress myself doing that 90% of the time. There must be some government service that will automatically detect and mute bad information that is being broadcasted from causing mental harm to my brain. Yes these commercials are "Freedom Of Speech" or whatever, but when they are so repetitive and massive in quantity, that is considered dangerous and causes harm to the other party. That should be illegal right?
Let's take another example. I watch GSN (The Game Show Network) which plays a lot of game shows that are challenging and use the intelligent part of your brain. (Some shows are really awesome and funny, such as Steve Harvey on Family Feud, you use your intellect to figure out answers to questions.) Notice here that you're using your intellect to solve puzzles? Then the commercial break starts. The commercials that start playing dumben you down! Hey, that's not fair! What's all this?
I don't want to press mute on the remote, that's just annoying to always do.
Anyways, I hope you got the simple jist of what I'm talking about.
I believe that it's illegal for a device to automatically mute commercials that play on TV (because I tried looking for one online and cannot find anything. I'm sure someone else thought of this idea before me, so not finding results implies that they cannot be sold).
But I should have the moral right for technology to automatically block ignorant commercials that play, in order to avoid damaging my mental health.
There should be a government database that stores all this information with some sort of rating system that detects what is very ignorant compared to what is well enough for an individual to attempt to comprehend. You see what I'm saying here?
Thank you for reading this.
