ASA to take over Facebook, Twitter regulation

http://www.out-law.com//default.aspx?page=10819


	Quote: Advertising regulator the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) will take over the regulation of companies' social networking pages by the end of the year, according to advertising industry proposals.

I'm really not sure what to make of this

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.

It should cover all online ads by companies in the UK, including possibly the big social network sites. I even think that even Apple should make sure that their online ads are compliant. Though the problem is that some countries rules are so lax they could try and evade it somehow.
