Criticism of advertising

Advertising criticism is when people don't like or are unhappy with the way that companies or products are promoted or presented in ads. For example, some people might think it's wrong for companies to make ads that target kids, or to promote unhealthy things like smoking or drinking. Ads can also be criticized for being too loud, for not giving all the facts, or for not being honest about the actual product or service.
