What is the Jamal Edwards controversy?
In May 2020, British vlogger Tanya Burr revealed that she had been paid £5000 to promote an eyeshadow palette on her Instagram account without disclosing that she had received payment for doing so.
” Later in May 2020,” Tanya Burr posted an apology video where she admitted that she knew about the sponsored post for eyeshadow palette from Sleek Makeup and said: “I apologise for not making it clear.”
In June 2020, another popular beauty vlogger Zoella apologised after being accused of failing to disclose when her videos were paid endorsements from brands such as Sony and M&S.
In response to these revelations about sponsored posts being made without proper disclosure, YouTube announced plans to ban all creators from receiving payment for creating sponsored content on their channels.
In September 2020,”The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it would ban all adverts featuring celebrities or influencers who fail to make clear if they have been paid or otherwise rewarded in return for their endorsement.”
” This included online personalities such as Zoella and Tanya Burr who were both involved in controversial advertising scandals involving undisclosed payments.
