the day is about hooking users for as long as possible to run as many ads as possible. aah on there for you to generate as much revenue as possible. so when they propose a simple fix, like taking a break, i think they do that because they know they have the ability to hook users in lower than back to the platform. ultimately, i think it's incumbent upon government to look at how it is we can better structure . ah, the incentives behind companies like facebook on that rely upon this toxic business models to railings, advertising. ah, hello, you're watching out here. and these are the stories were following the sour, britton's prime minister has announced to return to tide. a corona virus restrictions to stem the spread of the all me con, variance far as johnson is urging people in england to work from home and is mandating cove and maintain passes for entrance into public venice. the announcement comes hours after.
