Google and Meta targeted children via social media platforms YouTube and Instagram. The companies that presented sexist advertisements to children with their advertising policies abandoned the plan after the partnership was revealed.
Secret advertising policy for children under the age of 18 on Instagram and Youtube!
As you know, we frequently encounter certain advertisements on all social media platforms. However, the irrelevant advertisements that have emerged recently have disturbed us all. Google, which banned sexist advertisements to people under the age of 18 on its platforms in 2021, seems to have violated this rule itself recently. Because the advertising partnership between Meta and Google targets exactly the age group of 13-17.
An advertising giant has revealed the sexist advertising policy implemented by Google and Meta regarding children. With TikTok making a big breakthrough in a few years, popular platforms that lost certain audiences found a way to gather people by breaking the rules. It is claimed that Instagram and YouTube, which have recently been revealed to present sexist advertisements to children, aim to disrupt the cultural and religious structure of young people.
Google, which launched an investigation into the issue, quickly canceled the ad campaign. And made the following statements:
“We prohibit advertising specifically for people under the age of 18…We will also take additional measures to reinforce to sales representatives that they should not help advertisers or agencies run campaigns that attempt to circumvent our policies.”
It is extremely surprising to everyone that such ads are appearing on platforms such as YouTube and Instagram, which are also frequently used by children. What do you think about this? You can share your thoughts in the comments.
