Multas CONAR e Senacon - Publicidade Enganosa em Campanhas (Misleading Advertising Penalties)

2 verified sources

Definition

CONAR judged 226 advertising cases in 2024, condemning 43 betting brands for rule breaches. Senacon imposed fines of R$ 1.33–2 million on Oi, Vivo, TIM for misleading 4G/5G ads (July 2024). Senacon ruled ads for Voa Brasil and Desenrola programs fraudulent, imposing daily fines of R$ 150,000 (Nov 2023). Procon-SP registered 255,536 consumer complaints in a year, many spillover to paid media liability.

Key Findings

  • Financial Impact: R$ 1.33–2 million per company fine (2024); R$ 150,000 daily fine per campaign (non-compliance); Typical cost per removed campaign: R$ 50,000–500,000 (lost media spend + refunds). Estimated manual review overhead: 10-20 hours per 100 ads.
  • Frequency: Quarterly enforcement sweeps; 226 cases/year from CONAR
  • Root Cause: Lack of pre-flight advertiser claim verification; manual review delays; insufficient advertiser contract compliance enforcement

Why This Matters

The Pitch: Internet news sites waste millions annually on ad removal/refunds and reputation damage. Automated ad claim verification (AI-based fact-checking of advertiser claims) before campaign delivery eliminates Senacon/CONAR penalties.

Affected Stakeholders

Ad quality/trafficking teams, Sales operations, Legal/compliance, Publisher commercial directors
