Oh okay, that’s what you meant by “target”. I make two distinctions here from my understanding: 1) if group A targets group B, then that’s not a personal attack, but a social or system issue, which I would count as a source of stress, not distress. 2) If group A targets a person, then that is a personal attack, and not a social issue, which is a source of direct conflict, and therefore distress.

The beauty of social media is that individuals are being targeted effectively as part of group targeting between groups.

That’s stress, not distress.

		Absolutely no way are people arguing here that being targeted for one's race, religion, sexuality etc, or being the personal victim of a targeted campaign of harassment and / or violence, is 'just as stressful and distressing' as being targeted by ads. Surely I must be misunderstanding this thread.

		It’s not the same thing as a different way to say the same thing if the implementation of two sources of conflict is different. One is a societal conflict, and the other is personal conflict.
