Should The Alcohol Industry Be Banned From Twitter Because There Are Minors Tweeting?
A UK charity believes that alcohol companies are specifically targeting minors when they promote their products on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube. They recommend that alcohol advertising should be banned on social networks.

It also claims that viral marketing efforts will likely eventually reach minors online, even if they aren’t directly targeted.
