Moon’s approach to South Korea’s alliance with the United States, China’s role in the region, and the outcome of the 2020 South Korean National Assembly election are bound to impact South-North détente.

There are also rules about what these companies can show. For example, they cannot target ads for people under 21 - nor can they show people using cannabis or under the influence. Twitter made it clear that advertisers are liable for ensuring that they are in compliance “with all applicable laws, rules, regulations, and advertising guidelines.” A Possible Growing Trend Additionally, there are bans on making claims “of efficacy or health benefits” as well as false or misleading claims. Twitter’s new move policy has been widely cheered by the industry, and already, companies have begun to take advantage of this new update.Īccording to Reuters, the medical and recreational cannabis provider Trulieve Cannabis Corp has launched a multistate ad campaign on Twitter.
