In the appeal, the association asks Xiaomi to send an appeal to prevent the display of ads that violate applicable legislation and, if this practice continues, to block Internet resources and applications (Xiaomi Ads network) through the which this content is distributed.
Experts doubt the blocking of the company’s services: in case of unfavorable developments, Xiaomi will most likely receive a fine. But advertisers who run such false and fraudulent ads could face criminal prosecution, they warned.
