IAB UK on the Government’s response to the 养老金

贴在 2023年7月25日星期二

的 Government has published its response to its consultation on the Online Advertising Programme - find out what it has said and read a response from our CEO Jon Mew


的 Online Advertising Programme (养老金) was set up by the Government in 2022 to review the regulatory framework for paid-for online advertising and consider w在这里 and how to build on it to address both legal and illegal harms. Over a 13-week consultation period last summer, it gat在这里d input from interested stakeholders - including our industry - on its proposals for evolving and strengthening the existing regulatory framework. You can read our consultation response 在这里, which argued that the Government should take a targeted approach to addressing areas of high risk and called for policy makers to work with industry to achieve this. 

政府现在已经 发表回应 to the consultation and outlined the next steps it plans to take. 整体, we consider the response to be positive and productive, taking on board important points about the need for proportionate, digital-first approaches that reflect the diversity of the ecosystem.  

It is also taking a targeted approach to focus on two specific areas (illegal advertising and protecting children) and it stresses that it will work with the industry to “identify evidence gaps, explore and potentially enhance existing industry-led initiatives, as well as consider if an industry-led approach could help address any gaps not already covered by these schemes”. This will be the remit of a new 特别工作组 - which IAB UK is part of – bringing together industry and Government to explore how non-legislative action can address illegal harms arising from online advertising and increase the protection of children.  

然而, we are concerned that the Government is planning to pursue a legislative response at this stage before other regulatory approaches have been fully explored, at the same time as acknowledging that more work is needed to develop the evidence base to understand the scale and impact of illegal harms. This is essential to inform decisions about proportionate regulation. 您可以找到我们的养老金 faq 在这里 and please don’t hesitate to 保持联系 如果你有任何问题.  
 

IAB UK’s statement on the 养老金 Government’s response  

“Demonstrating the strength of existing industry-led regulation sat at the heart of IAB UK’s response to the Online Advertising Programme consultation and we are pleased that the Government has today recognised the valuable role this plays in protecting consumers and businesses. We have also consistently argued for the next phase of the 养老金 to concentrate on areas of highest risk and to facilitate joint working with industry to address these challenges. We t在这里fore welcome the Government’s commitment to a collaborative, evidence-led approach – focused on protecting children and tackling illegal advertising – and we look forward to participating in the new Online Advertising 特别工作组.      

“然而, we remain concerned that the Government is prematurely pursuing a legislative response before it has fully explored other regulatory solutions. Our priority now is ensuring that any proposals are proportionate and justified in their nature, 规模和范围. 并行, t在这里 need to be renewed efforts from Government to enforce existing laws against illegal actors.”
