Melissa Steinman, from Venable (United States), will moderating the session, which will include the following speakers:

In this panel, we will discuss how regulators around the world have been cracking down on brands and influencers who fail to disclose the nature of their relationship, as well as on brands and publishers who blur the line between editorial and advertising.
