Abstract

Providing effective criminal protection for the consumer from the danger of misleading advertisements spread through social media has become an imperative necessity. It contains many legal problems, especially in light of the increasing spread of such advertisements simultaneously with the significant increase of e-commerce. In this paper, we demonstrate the adequacy of criminal protection for the consumer provided by the Bahraini Consumer Protection Law in the face of misleading and deceptive acts through commercial advertisements using social media, and the extent of consumer awareness of it.
