Discrimination and racism

[sadiksojib35]

Unlike other types of improper advertising, fines for racism and discrimination are less common in the Russian market. The latest scandals are at least several years old.



What is the penalty for distributing inappropriate advertising?
It is no secret that companies are regularly fined for unfair advertising. At least once a week, the FAS Telegram channel publishes news about another business being held liable for misleading greece whatsapp phone number consumers about the terms of purchasing a product or service.

Liability for improper advertising under Part 1 of Article 14.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation is from 100,000 to 500,000 rubles. A fine may also be imposed on the general director - from 4,000 to 20,000 rubles.

A fine is not the only means of combating dishonesty on the part of the state. The FAS can also force a company to refute its own advertising. For example, it can oblige a federal TV channel to show a video in prime time with the text that the advertising was found to be false by the court.



Why does this happen?
The fines are not small, and the FAS closely monitors compliance with the law, but companies continue to violate it. In such circumstances, the question arises: why is this happening?

There are several reasons. Advertising may become unreliable due to a technical error or human factor: a mistake in the number or forgetting to indicate the limiting conditions.

In some cases, companies do not have a process for coordinating advertising, and sometimes the amount of a potential fine is significantly lower than the expected profit and the risk is conscious. In the latter case, the issue of providing consumers with reliable information remains on the conscience of the business.
