Congresswomen Want to Regulate Ad Photoshopping Concerned about unrealistic images of women that girls and teens see in heavily Photoshopped ads, two congresswomen have introduced legislation that would regulate Photoshopping in media and advertising. Democratic Rep. Lois Capps of California, who co-sponsored the Truth in Advertising Act of 2014 with Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen of Florida, said, Just as with cigarette ads in the past, fashion ads portray a twisted ideal image for young women. And theyre vulnerable. As sales go up, body image and confidence drops. According to Jezebel, the bill doesnt actually call for the Federal Trade Commission to regulate advertisers use of Photoshop themselves, but instead would have the federal government analyze the images and decide what to do about them from there. What do you think of these congresswomen wanting to involve government in regulating Photoshopping in media and ads?
