EU draft law would force clear labels on influencer ads

What happened

The European Commission was set to unveil its Digital Fairness Act on Nov 11. A leaked draft says influencers must label sponsored posts as an advertisement or commercial collaboration and cannot pass paid promotions off as personal views.

Why it matters

Brands running creator programs with EU creators or audiences could face stricter disclosure rules.

In their words

“If someone is promoting products on social media, it should be clearly stated.”
