I think they've realised that it's just too much for them to ever regulate so better to just ban. Skincare is regulated on TV or magazine adverts but next to no regulation on social media.
Uber witches like Lydia Millen will say she's regulated by the ASA, but all influencers know that this regulatory body can't deal with 99.9% of the social media stuff and the chance of ever being held to account is very very remote.
The ASA do some pr a few times a year to give the illusion of regulation, but unless their budget is increased 10'000% they can barely scratch the surface of regulating social media.
nobody and I mean nobody should be able to influence someone’s health that isn’t a professional in the health system. Also even if they are professionals the rit they lie about. It’s bias completely to what they believe.. dr doireann is now doing it and she was supposed to be against supplements.
Oh no,what's every reality tv show loser going to do when they can't promote protein powder?they might actually have to get a job but surely they're too famous for that
To be honest, I agree with skincare being regulated a) it can trigger severe allergic reactions if utilized incorrectly or in combination with the wrong products b) influencers should not be allowed to advertise supposed "miracle" products meant to treat severe skin conditions such as acne, eczema, psoriasis etc. These should be addressed by a qualified professional as they fall under the "health" umbrella given there generally is a hormonal component to these skin conditions.
There is so much that falls into skincare than just moisturizers / oils / cleansers. A lot of influencers promote acid-based products with strong ingredients that can severely damage one's skin if not utilized properly. Granted, it's no different than TV or magazine ads, but those ads are approved for publication by a particular team which generally is cautious of what is being advertised and knows the product to an extent. With influencers, it's a case of advertising just about any product, there's no thought or sign-off process behind that.

I wonder if their overly expensive tea fits in the no longer paid products. I'm tired of their 25€ tea that just tastes the same as the 5€ one
Brilliant. I hope the same happens in the UK.
And I hope it will also happen in France
I don’t think any randomer online with a few followers should be trying to sell anything especially as they don’t even use the products they sell. People don’t know what is in these products and I am so glad Australia has done that. I pray the UK do the same and put all these boring huns out of business.
Amazing news!
I dont follow many influencers at all but when they come up in my fyp I usually scroll past anyway - I dont believe their reviews are genuine at all, plus there are so many kids on social media now all at an age where they are easily influenced or led to believe there is a miracle cure for everything. My 2 year old suffers eczema and I sure as tit never want her to listen to someone who has been paid to advertise a product and probably doesnt even suffer with it (im hopeful she may grow out of it)

And, apparently Claiire, like the influencer.
I'm not really keen on "wacky" spellings of names.
I had a severe allergic reaction to a well known, very heavily pushed by influencers collagen supplement. Nobody ever mentioned the allergens in it, nor did the packaging or brand website state clearly that people with a shellfish allergy shouldn’t use it. It only stated it contained fish, which I’m not allergic to and eat regularly.
The amount of false and misleading claims that brands and influencers make about certain products is concerning especially when so many people will trust and follow (often blindly) what they’re told by their favourite influencer.
I hope this is actually regulated in some tangible way, but given that it’s been in place since 1/1/2022 and I’m seeing more ads for wellness products than ever before, I’m doubtful.
I assume consumers will be the ones having to report brands and influencers just like with advertising breaches.

Even if other countries are slow to follow it does send out a clear message that what many influencers are doing is wrong.
If any of them had a gram of integrity they'd stop with the health and wellness stuff. People like Rochelle Humes who has many other revenue streams and could take an ethical stance with only a small reduction in cash made will most probably carry on regularly promoting supplements.
Australia is doing well with tackling some of the new problems caused by the internet; like forcing Google and Facebook to pay for the content they scrape onto their own platforms.
From 1 January to 30 June 2022, your business may comply with either the current TGAC2 or the new TGAC. From 1 July 2022, all advertising and marketing of therapeutic goods must comply with the new TGAC.

I believe the influencers have until July 2022 when they'll be forced to comply with it and delete all content that doesn't.

And just MLM's in general.If the UK could follow suit and put all these Insta huns out of business that would be great
Funny enough, my name is Clare
Crivens!! 
they should ban plastic surgery for non medical/mental health needs too, just imagine how many doctors and nurses that would free upSkincare is fine in my opinion, but promoting weight-loss products when you're followed by kids is dangerous. Some influencers even promote scam numbers and plastic surgeons
Yesss I love this!
I would be very happy to see the disappearance of those useless hair gummies!

Saw it on local aesthetic clinic pages today. They won’t be getting free Botox or fillers either. About time.Seems like the best place to post this news from Australia; at least one country is starting to take serious action.
Any influencer who relies on skincare, supplements or protein powder will need to find a new job.
Influencers will be banned from receiving payment or benefits from spruiking health and wellness products.

So many influencers in the UK promote supplements and skincare so fingers crossed something similar is introduced.
The papers are always going on about something needs to be done about tattle (because it allows opinions that these busisnes entities can't delete), but silent about influencers damaging unregulated actions on society
Can we ban 'influencers' full stop......? Most of them are greedy and money driven.
I have seen fashion influences try and promote health which they are really uneducated on .
