Marketing is the distribution of goods and services ("product") by a "producer" to another producer (B2B) or a "consumer" (B2C).

Advertising information ("advertisement") communicates Q (S), V (D), and site of a good or service to "market participants" (buyers and sellers), ie. those people willing and able to change one good or service into another of value. An advertisement is a public notice.

Synonymous terms (EN) for market exchange between buyers and sellers are trade, business, traffick (antiq.), or commerce. A synonym for an advertisement is a marketing communication. A "public relations" (PR) communication is not an advertisement; such a message is not fit for purpose nor intended to benefit a specific commercial objective.

The media utilized for distributing an advertisement reduce to audio and visual broadcast technology, operated by people, to display product. A specified period for advertising, determined by a seller or seller agent, is known (US-Eng.) as a "campaign". The period terminates at such time seller's funds are exhausted or sales goal is obtained.

The simplest form of marketing an advertisement is word-of-mouth (man is the communication tool). The most complex (to date) is "personalized" digital telecommunication addressed to one buyer's purchase preferences and habits, ie. information collected and transformed into data by one or more sellers.

Facebook has another incentive to keep its head down. The deeper it gets into editorial decisions, the more it looks like a publisher, which could tempt legislators to limit the liability [sic] shield it currently enjoys under federal law. In addition, making judgments about truth and falsity [sic] could quickly become one of the world's biggest headaches.

In fact, Facebook business is publishing. Facebook publishes original and derivative A/V properties supplied to this corporation's production apparatus by "registered users", both buyers and sellers, commercial an proprietary producers, non-profit and for-profit trade. All publishers exercise "editorial decisions" that determine production method and product of the enterprise which is reproducing speech of people. Purportedly, all publishers --natural and corporate persons-- enjoy protection from state prosecution of speech activities under the 1st Amendment of the US Constitution.

Tucker Carlson is trying to claim that the metric system is a conspiracy theory - Independent

Tucker Carlson has claimed that America is facing a huge and pressing threat and it is... yes, you guessed it, the metric system.

Speaking on Tucker Carlson tonight, the right-wing presenter said:

   "Almost every nation on Earth has fallen to tyranny: the metric system.

    From Beijing to Buenos Aires, from Lusaka to London, the people of the world have been forced to measure their environment in millimetres and kilograms.

    The United States is the only major country that is resisted, but we have no reason to be ashamed for using feet and pounds."
