Television Advertising Standards

Television advertising standards ensure that ads are truthful, respectful, and appropriate for viewers. They prohibit false or misleading claims, offensive content, and ads targeting vulnerable groups like children unfairly. Standards also require ads to be clearly distinguishable from programming and to avoid excessive exaggeration. Regulatory bodies enforce these rules to maintain fairness, protect consumers, and uphold public decency. Overall, these standards aim to ensure TV ads are honest, safe, and respectful of societal values.
