When we launched a best practice guideline for moderating user comments on social media platforms earlier this week we hoped to stimulate some debate around industry self-regulation and how businesses should sensibly approach this emerging issue. There’s no doubt we’ve done that, but in the process there has been some FUD – fear, uncertainty and doubt – and even some name calling, so let’s set the record straight on the facts from a legal standpoint.

IAB is wholeheartedly supportive of the self-regulatory framework surrounding advertising and marketing in Australia.
