Advertising Standards Authority bans Facebook ad over lack of care to ensure it was not aimed at under-16s
An advert for the takeaway delivery service Just Eat that featured a McDonald’s burger has been banned for not taking sufficient care to ensure that it was not aimed at children under 16.
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled that the paid-for Facebook advert must not appear again in its current form after it upheld a complaint made by Bite Back 2030, a youth activist movement challenging junk food.
