“Government bans telecasting condom ads on Television from 6 AM to 10 PM”
What FACTLY found
In December 2017, citing rule 7 (7) and 7(8) of Cable Television Rules, 1994, the Government advised all the television channels to telecast the condom advertisements only between 10 PM and 6 AM. The advisory further states that the decision is taken since these ads are for a particular age group, and viewing by children could be indecent/inappropriate. However, social media users are sharing this news of partial ban as a recent phenomenon
Their words, from the summary they publish with the rating.
In short
This claim spread on social media around 27 September 2022. FACTLY (India) looked into it and published its finding on 16 November 2022, 50 days later. Its rating was “MISLEADING”.
