Avon catalogue rejects and AliExpress tat resellers, the whole lot of them.

The interesting bit to me is the "the code also prohibits endorsements by those who hold themselves out as having expertise or qualifications in a health related field".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
Would that also ban those adverts for toothpaste where they say things like "88% of the dentists we asked (we asked 11) said our toothpaste was good"?
The MLM huns trying to portray their overpriced face sanders as essential part of skincare, a fantastic ‘business’ opportunity and their use of scientific claims with no evidence whatsoever.
It boils my piss. It’s dangerous and deceitful.

It’s like they should be grateful they get the product for free ya know? Why do you have to make coin out of something that’s gifted to you? Is t that enough already
What a shame they might have to get real jobs now, like the rest of us 
Caroline Hirrons and Sali Hughes are crying in a corner somewhere.
Could this ban also extend to activewear? 
I had to Google these names as no idea who they are. I dont follow/look at/have interest in any 'influencers'. I don't have money to follow trends or fashions and even if it was plentiful why would I want to buy something because someone else told me I must like it? I have a sound mind of my own so far so the idea of spending huge amounts of money on shoes/handbags/cosmetics / whatever simply because it's THE thing to have..well...where is the sense in that?
Wouldn't it be wonderful if it could be extended to ban influencers?
Yes, let it be the end of free Invisalign treatments for influencers, too.
and bloody useless,let them get a job,9 to5 with the public, that would open their eyes to stress and hard work.
Good. I remember Lisa Snowdon constantly trying to flog collagen supplements/powder which were really expensive but had such poor reviews. She does it with skin care too, her favourite range is whatever she's being given free usually.
I think in the majority of cases - where the influencers are plugging things they very clearly don't use - it's a good thing.
But, what about in the cases of, say, where someone is a paid ambassador for a brand such as Dermalogica (which, personally speaking, really does work)? I don't see any problem with that if, when they sign on, they're honest about the state of their skin, and then they show the signs of improvement as they use the products.
Ditto in the case of Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig - there have been some true success stories there (Magda Szubanski for one) - I don't see the problem in getting an influencer or celebrity to show that the product can and does work.
There is a local lady to me (too few followers to mention by name) who has an autoimmune condition that means she can only eat certain types of foods, and she has created quite a nice following of talking about the brands she uses, and gives cooking demonstrations. Of course that's attracted the attention of other brands who're keen to pal up with her, and she's been very open and transparent about that, saying she's using xyz product today, and here's how she's using it (how she's cooking it, what she's matching it with, etc.) ... and here's how she feels after eating it, etc. I don't see anything wrong in that situation either - she's helping a lot of people by doing all the research for them.

Those collagen powders are bloody awful and an absolute have. Your body produces collagen naturally and does not *typically* need a helping hand in that regard. It is possible to overdose on collagen, and cause irreparable damage to your kidneys.
We need to call them online salespeople/shillers. I'd cringe myself inside out if I had to # that almost everything in my home was given to me - especially when we are surrounded by energy price rises and many struggling to survive.
I wish that they all had to retroactively # every post/video from before the gifting/ad rules came in.

Ok Hannah English is an actual pharmaceutical scientist and also a skincare/beauty influencer I guess you could say, she’s explained a bit of this on her stories I recommend having a look.

Tattle gave me a notification for this thread when I am usually commenting on the Radfords - do you think it's trying to tell me something lol.
I hope this does come to the UK because there is so much false advertising from influencers recently! Can't stand influencers as it is. They are spam to me
GOOD! I'm so sick of influencers getting paid to push "clean" and "green" products like they're not just fear-mongering terms to sell more garbage products to their naïve audiences. I don't have a problem with the actual existence of influencers but they are simply overpaid for what they do. There is nobody who works in Marketing on a corporate level that would ever make as much money as their peers in influencing (I'm just talking about managerial level and lower, anyway).
Should ban promo of filler n botox n surgery to
