A Friday shoutout to the good people at @adfreecities.bsky.social who are doing great work to advise citizens on how to reject and avoid pointless, damaging adverts in our towns and cities.
Embrace ad shrouds, eschew adverts!

What does this sentence even mean?!?
#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
Some excellent #subvertising being done by Smartphone-Free Childhood (sadly seemingly all in London). More pwoer to their elbow.
#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
Only just clocked that this application for a huge digital billboard on the junction of Albany Road & Newport Road in #Roath / #Plasnewydd was REFUSED following our objection. Well done, all! 🥳

Two more proposed public advertising sites for you to oppose, both of them in #Grangetown... Get those objections in, folks!

Perfectly put. Why do we allow the advertising industry to try and manipulate us in this way?!?
#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
Fun Fact: Advertising is the reason websites want to force app usage on everyone. It is illegal (pretty much everywhere) to reverse engineer an app to implement ad-blocking, but ad-blocking is easy on a website and requires no such effort.

There's an interesting titbit in this article by the chief executive of Vale of Glamorgan Council. Their ban on advertising unhealthy foods, rather than leading to a LOSS in revenue, actually BOOSTED it!

🚨 ADVERT APPLICATION ALERT! 🚨
Plans have been submitted for a massive new ad screen on North Road, next to the Maindy leisure centre. Details below. Lodge an objection ASAP!

Advertising agencies can fuck all the way off, bunch of lying wankers. All they do is manipulate and deceive us and for what? To sell broken, useless shit nobody needs to poor gullible people who can't afford it?

#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
Giving this another plug for any #Caerdydd #Cardiff people who want to object to plans for a massive advert screen by Newport Road, for zero public benefit. Let's keep this stuff off our streets!

Screengrab of the Guardian home page, with annoying popup box.
Some new #enshittification (to me anyway) this week. The Guardian now asks you to choose between accepting cookies for personalised advertising, or to pay £5pm for an "ad-lite" (sic) version - not even an ad-free version.
Guess that's another website I'll not be […]

Take a look and share this, #Cardiff #Caerdydd people! A vital opportunity to oppose energy-sapping public advertising in #Adamsdown #Roath #Plasnewydd.

🚨 PLANNING ALERT! 🚨
Proposed new ad board near the junction of Newport Road & Albany Road in #Roath #Plasnewydd #Adamsdown. It would be MASSIVE - see guide below, as tall as three people.

This from @openrightsgroup.org is well worth a read on the potential for cookie consent rules in the UK to be softened. Plenty of benefits to advertisers, but huge dangers to consumers concerned with #DataProtection and #privacy.

Spotted earlier in #Cardiff #Caerdydd on a junk food advert.

Another good piece about the decision by Cardiff Council to increase regulation of public advertising in #Cardiff #Caerdydd. Lots of good progress has been made, plenty still to do!

Nicie piece about @cardiffcouncil.bsky.social further restricting advertising in the city. We're really pleased to see progress on this issue after years of campaigning. Plenty left to do, but it's a huge step forwards.

Not #Cardiff #Caerdydd, but great to see this down the road in the #ValeOfGlamorgan, where the council have agreed to push ahead with plans to ban unhealthy food adverts in certain public spaces. Da iawn!

#AdvertisingShitsInYourHead
⚠️ HELP NEEDED!
Soon @cardiffcouncil.bsky.social will consider a new Advertising Policy banning ads for fossil fuel cars, gambling & alcohol on council sites. Write to your councillor to ask for their support!

Photo of a fake advertisement in the London Underground: Removing, replacing or defacing advertisement is not vandalism. It is an act of tidying up that is both legally and morally defensible. #AdvertisingShitsInYourHead

Sigh. Application to cover up some unique and artistic graffiti on Westgate Street, #Cardiff / #Caerdydd with advertising boards. Granted, the graffiti is promoting a takeaway - but at least it's interesting!

Great to see this in the Vale of Glamorgan. More and more Welsh councils are taking such steps - but wouldn't it be great to see parties campaigning for a national ban at next year's Senedd election?
