Media Law Permits Social Media Ads
Article 8 of the new Media Law focused on regulating the activities of promoters and advertisers on social media platforms within Kuwait. The law punishes anyone who promotes advertising content without a license, which is granted for a renewable two-year period. It requires compliance with content standards, respect for individuals' privacy, and explicit disclosure of the advertising material. The law also states that a license may be suspended for up to six months in case of violations, and prohibits advertising without a license or clear disclosure. Additionally, the Minister of Information has the authority to prohibit advertising through a reasoned decision to protect the market and consumers. The provisions reaffirm the right of regulatory authorities to issue organizational resolutions to ensure compliance, while balancing the freedom of media activity with post-publication accountability.
