The British advertising authority examines ads for floki inu cryptocurrency
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), the British advertising supervisory authority, examines ads that are placed in public transport in London for the floki inu (floki) cryptocurrency.
Floki Inu is the cryptocurrency named after the Shiba-Inu dog by Tesla-CEO Elon Musk. Musk was called Dogefather because he supported Meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin (Doge). He tweeted on June 25th: "My Shiba Inu will be called Floki." The Tesla boss followed on September 12 with a tweet that said: "Floki has arrived." Floki has both an ERC20 token and a Bep20 token.
The floki inu displays were seen in London buses and in subway stations. The ads contain "Missing Doge? Get Floki" in large, fat script.
The team behind the floki-inu crypto advertising campaign said that the advertisements were "legally released". You said the BBC:
These ads also contain a clear disclaimer that emphasizes the volatility of cryptocurrencies.
While Transport for London (TFL), the transport company of the capital, said that there were no widespread complaints to the public about advertising for cryptocurrencies, some politicians in Great Britain have expressed concerns that the TFL should not have approved the ads for Floki Inu.
The Mayor of the London office said: "TFL writes to the ASA and the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to inquire about their views on the concerns expressed." Sian Berry, member of the Green Party London Assembly, told the Guardian:
This should have lifted a red flag, and someone at TFL should have seen it before it was approved.
The team behind the floki Inu advertising campaign shared the BBC in an email:
The attack of a certain political party on these advertisements is an attack on cryptocurrency and the freedom of choice of the people - a clear attempt at censorship.
In summer, the ASA banned an advertising campaign for the cryptocurrency exchange Luno, which was on TFL. The ad said: "It's time to buy Bitcoin".
In an explanation to the BBC, the ASA said that it was looking at various cryptocurrency advertisements, including those for Floki Inu, in "different media areas", not just in TFL. "We will check whether these advertisements violate our rules and use our findings to inform our regulation in this area, including all the following measures for enforcement," said the authority.
