We’re assessing whether UK 🇬🇧 and South Korean 🇰🇷 ads are disclosing loot box presence, as required by law. Examining each ad is like opening a loot box: will it be compliant? 😯 7% chance (old data)! Team: @CallumDeery2, @elepetrovs, @SolipPark, & @pnewall, funded by @AFSGUK

How compliant are game adverts with new industry guidance on disclosing monetisation? I'm working with @LeonXiaoY and others to investigate compliance with new guidance and regulations for disclosing monetisation in game ads on Meta's ad library.
