YouTubers have to declare ads. Why doesn't anyone else?

День томуAround the world, there are regulations for "influencers". Those regulations make sure that if someone is paid to endorse a product, they have to declare that payment to the people watching. But why does no-one on TV, or film, or anywhere else have to do that?

A rare life-threatening heart complication may occur in some people taking Talafex®.

@dig8634 3 роки тому
I think the phrasing is a bit deceptive or unfair. I'd say it's more that everyone does what's right above their own line. I don't generally say anything I do is acceptable, but I tend to avoid things I don't think are acceptable, but let myself do stuff I do think is acceptable. There are areas this doesn't apply, like bad health choices for example, but I can't say I agree with the implication behind the choice of words

Here in Latvia we have disclamer before TV programs. It would translate like this: "This program may contain product placement". It was made mandatory after one local TV show was used for pharmaceutical companies products (some of them were prescription drugs). These days if there is a placement of alcohol, cigaretes or any medicine, they must have appropriate banner (emphasizing on risks).
