ConductAtlas Analysis

Why it matters (compliance & governance perspective)

Alcohol advertisers must account for the legal drinking age of each specific territory where their ad is served, not a single universal age threshold.

Consumer impact (what this means for users)

Alcohol ads that target or are likely to particularly appeal to underage audiences in their territory are prohibited from running on Snapchat Ads.
