<p>Companies who advertise on the internet will face stricter rules and regulations from next month.</p>
<p>Until now, The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has only been able to monitor traditional advertising found on billboards, in newspapers or on television.</p>
<p>But from March 1, its powers will extend to regulating commercial websites and businesses who promote their products using social networking platforms such as Facebook and Twitter.</p>
<p>Under the change, internet users will be able to make official objections about any indecent or misleading information they find online.</p>
<p>The ASA has spent a year preparing for the reform, and is expanding staff numbers by 10% to deal with the extra complaints it expects.</p>
<p>&#8220;The principle that ads have to be legal, decent, honest and truthful is now going to extend to companies claims on their own websites,&#8221; Matt Wilson, of the ASA told the BBC.</p>
<p>Both adverts and claims on a company&#8217;s website which could be interpreted as marketing will be policed by the authority.</p>
<p>Last year, 2,500 people complained about website content, but under the old rules their objections were not admissible.</p>
