Change in online advertising

Just announced, the Advertising Standards Authority will now have online advertising in its scope of authority. As I have pointed out before any complaints about adverts on a company’s own website were, until now, under the authority of the Trading Standards Authority.

This change makes a lot of sense and will mean my future complaints about woo and bullshit will be easier to initiate.

Full story at the BBC.

Update:

I just spoke to the ASA and found that the change to their remit takes force on 1st March 2011.
