The difference is that there are rules, regulations and methods in place
for traditional advertising and adverts tend to be clearly advertised as
such, so those ads that are made up to look like editorial in magazines
are clearly marked as being advertisments and TV ads that fill entire ad
breaks and look a bit like real programmes are also flagged as such.
Virtually without exception they are also paid for ads that provide
money that enable the rest of the content to be produced or improved and
so are also tolerated for those reasons.
Lying & misrepresenting yourself as a satisfied customer is clearly not
an acceptable practice.  The charter of this group was also
democratically decided, it says commercial advertising is prohibited.
