"The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) ruled against the Instagram and Facebook ads, noting they also created an undue sense of urgency for individuals considering medicated weight-loss programmes."
"In one of the Facebook ads, a caption stated: I probably needed a hug, but I decided to start a medicated weightloss journey with Juniper instead and I really didn't expect it to bring so much more than progress on the scales."
The Independent covers significant topics like reproductive rights, climate change, and Big Tech, emphasizing the importance of on-the-ground reporting. Donations help fund journalists who present balanced perspectives. The organization prioritizes accessible journalism, avoiding paywalls to ensure everyone can access quality news. Recently, the Advertising Standards Authority banned Juniper's ads for promoting prescription-only weight-loss medication, which exploited body image insecurities and lacked clear sponsorship disclosures in social media posts. The ruling highlights the need for responsible advertising practices in sensitive areas like health and wellness.
