A promotional advertisement for an episode of a program titled "The Blind Date Show" has ignited significant backlash in Egypt, featuring two children in a context that mimics adult dating shows.
The ad has drawn widespread criticism on social media, with many viewing it as a grave breach of ethical and legal standards, as well as an infringement on the innocence of children.
As public outrage intensified, authorities responded through legal channels, highlighting the risks of involving minors in age-inappropriate content and asserting that such practices contravene media laws and regulations.
In response to this mounting pressure, the advertisement was promptly removed from all digital platforms.
This incident underscores the community's heightened sensitivity to child protection issues and reignites discussions on the need for stricter oversight of media and advertising content to ensure adherence to ethical standards.
