The major justification given by the critics for banning or severely restricting advertising to children is that children have limited ability to interpret the selling intent of a message. This means that they may not be able to distinguish between what is being advertised and what is not, making them vulnerable to deceptive marketing practices. The other options, such as containing nudity or violence, are not the main reason for the call to ban or restrict advertising to children.
