A blogger's recent social media post about a terrifying driving scare has reignited public concern over intrusive mobile app splash advertisements, leading many platforms to quietly phase out such advertisements.
The blogger explained that while exiting a highway, he launched a navigation app via voice command. Vehicle vibration triggered an advertisement redirect on his phone, which automatically switched to a third-party shopping site and created an immediate safety risk.
随后,话题“开屏广告没了”登上微博热搜。
The video went viral and the hashtag "SplashAdsDisappear" soon topped the trending charts on Weibo.
In response, a wave of netizens and bloggers reported that multiple popular apps have removed splash advertisements, allowing users to enter the main interface with a single tap. Many have called for other platforms to follow suit.
另据北京日报报道,针对开屏广告关不掉、乱跳转等问题,相关部门早已多次明文规范。
The longstanding problem of hard-to-close splash advertisements and unauthorized automatic redirects has drawn regulatory attention for years. Authorities have released multiple regulatory documents to rein in these improper practices.
