The new guidance is intended to
educate advertisers on requirements for "sponsorship transparency for online and mobile app political advertisements," it says in a statement, adding that it will review political ads for
non-compliance based on key criteria, such as:
- Enhanced Notice Requirements: Political ads must include clear notice indicating they are political ads, using icons,
symbols, or specific wording.
- Political Advertisement Notice: Details of who paid for the ad must be linked from the enhanced notice, including contact
information and disclaimers required by law.
- Emerging Technologies: Special considerations for new advertising modalities, such as connected TV (CTV), to ensure
transparency in all digital formats.
