⚠ Penalties for non-compliance

KO och Patent- och marknadsdomstolen har drivit ärenden mot influencers och varumärken under marknadsföringslagen. I januari 2018 förbjöd domstolen Alexandra Media Sweden AB (företaget bakom bloggaren Alexandra "Kissie" Nilsson) från dold reklam med ett vite på 100 000 SEK. Praxis kräver att reklammärkningen är "tydlig och omedelbar".

Sweden's Marknadsföringslagen (Marketing Act) requires clear disclosure of commercial intent. The Konsumentombudsman (KO) and Reklamombudsmannen actively pursue undisclosed influencer advertising; landmark cases against Kissie and other top creators set precedent.
