Big news! We filed a request for inquiry with the Federal Trade Commission about Twitter today. Their new ad format is… to not label ads!? We at @checkmyads.org think this is probably illegal. @sarahkwiley.bsky.social filed today. www.wired.com/story/ftc-x-...

Given how toxic Twitter has become, we asked the Trustworthy Accountability Group to investigate if Twitter is in breach of its brand safety guidelines. The company's CEO confirmed to Digiday that investigation is now under way. digiday.com/marketing/xs...

We're investigating reports that people being shown ads on Twitter that aren't marked as ads, something the FTC really isn't a fan of! So if you're still occasionally on the hellsite and happen to notice this, zing a couple screenshots our way: submit@checkmyads.org

An image showing how to report unmarked ads on Twitter, saying "send your screenshots to submit@checkmyads.org". One image shows that you screenshot the post itself and look out for posts missing the "ad" tag in the top right. The second image shows screenshotting the drop-down menu when you click the three dots next to the username so it shows "not interested in this ad."
