No targeting of children under 16 through ads

Everyone do vote on this survey if you havent already. I do however think that this should be for all products and not just food products. So many health supplements, education classes etc is being tatgeted on kids.


Even if the child is brilliant because they see an education platform ad FOMO kicks in and he/she wants parents to buy subscription.

Let the ad be targeted at parents, dont show children. more

Parents of children should understand about the seriousness in participating in such ads. The effect may be very severe. Todays parents feel pride, when their children are participants in various activities. The sole responsibility is of parents and public can only extend valuable suggestions. more  
I do not agree.Everyone have the right to advertise their products.If it contains objectionable content or false promises they should be reported to the authorities.Democracy does not mean that some one's livelyhood can be destroyed because the parents of children as part of the "bringing them up" should educate the children to identify good and the bad. It is the parents who are responsible. more  
There should be no ads targeting the children. Government should make strict laws about this. more  
Children should and must not be used. The consumer law must make this provision mandatory more  
Yes, no targeting of children through advertisements. more
