The world of Instagram and YouTube is an industry that has been taking over how we consume products for the past ten years. And one that\u2019s not about to slow down any time soon.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Influencers are no longer the \u201cgirl next door\u201d who\u2019s \u201cjust like us\u201d. They\u2019re running multi-million-pound empires and have huge TEAMS of people working for them. And an industry with such growing influence over us needs some kind of policing to keep things in check.<\/p>\n

The Competition Markets Authority (CMA) and Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) have made multiple attempts to protect consumers from misleading and ambiguous posts across social media.<\/p>\n

Guidelines from the CMA state that content should be \u201ctransparent, easy to understand, unambiguous, timely and prominent\u201d and \u201capparent without the need for people to click for more information, no matter what type of device they\u2019re using to view the post\u201d.<\/p>\n
