Congressional regulation[]

Given the persuasive power of the ad industry, Congress and the courts have regulated advertising to protect consumers and ensure fair competition. U.S. laws govern, among other things, alcohol advertising, tobacco advertising, advertising by mail, advertising by telephone and commercial email or spam.

Federal agency regulation[]

In addition to Congress, the advertising industry is monitored by a variety of federal agencies.
