DTC involves various platforms to convey a message, social media, broadcast media, print media and the internet. Each of these platforms have special criteria to define what you can and cannot do. FDA treats those criteria in a stringent manner. FDA "trolls" these platforms to catch firms running fowl of the FDA's guidance on DTC. If they catch you, they can.
