What are the advertising regulations in different countries?

Advertising regulations vary significantly across countries. Are you interested in a specific country or region?

Yes, I'm particularly interested in the regulations in the EU.

In the EU, advertising must comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Audiovisual Media Services Directive (AVMSD). This includes rules on misleading advertising and the protection of minors.

What about the United States?

In the U.S., advertising is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Advertisers must ensure that their ads are truthful and not misleading, and there are specific rules for certain industries like tobacco and alcohol.

Are there any differences in social media advertising regulations?

Yes, social media advertising regulations can differ. For example, the FTC requires influencers to disclose paid partnerships in the U.S., while the EU has stricter rules on data privacy and consent.
