The five positions

anchors carry the meaning, the scale cannot drift as discourse drifts
1

Yes, without restriction: persuasion is speech, and knowing your audience is as old as rhetoric.

2

Yes, with disclosure: every tuned message is labeled as personalized, with the targeting criteria available.

3

Only on declared interests: tailoring may use what people said about themselves, never inferred traits.

4

Individual tuning prohibited; addressing broad, disclosed segments remains allowed.

5

Prohibited beyond the single public message: what cannot be said to everyone may be said to no one.
