Log on to Facebook or Twitter to complain about misleading Ads

Errant advertisers could face more heat from industry watch dog Advertising Standards Council of India (ASCI), which has jumped on the social networking bandwagon, encouraging youths to speak out against questionable campaigns through its Facebook and Twitter accounts.

Within a month of making its debut on Facebook and Twitter, ASCI has already received ten times more complaints against advertisements than the earlier average of 15-20 complaints from individuals and industry against 12 advertisements in a month.

“By being on the social networking sites, ASCI is targeting the youth who are very active on such platforms to come up and register comments or complaints against advertisements and thus help in regulating the industry,” ASCI General Secretary Allan Collaco told PTI.

He said the response on ASCI’s Facebook and Twitter account has been very encouraging so far.
