"they could just as easily present them in a way that wouldn't be blocked" would be a more accurate way of phrasing it. Facebook is not the one blocking this content - rather, it's detecting that it has been blocked (clientside)
Appreciate the feedback, thanks!

Yes, the same EU. The fact that it's considering some poor choices doesn't detract from the fact that it's actions thus far have been positive and deserve appreciation. Real Life doesn't split people neatly into heroes and villains.
That's not the case. The following two statements can be simultaneously true:
- a sufficiently-good product would sell through word-of-mouth
- corporate executives are not satisfied with the small amount of purchases this would generate, because they want more profit.
Advertising is a way to generate morepurchases (and so more profit), but it might be increasing from a non-zero amount.
I don't think that the person you're replying to is entirely correct (some products or markets really do require advertising to make consumers aware), but they're closer to right than they are to wrong on a level playing field. But if the other side is using advertising, you basically have to do the same in order to remain competitive.
Good work, 47. Now get to an exit.
