Influencer “#ad” failures are advertising law problems before they are cyber FIRs.
A celebrity posts a crypto “tip.” Followers lose money. Comment sections shout “cyber fraud.” Disclosure failures, endorsement rules, and misleading advertising sit in a different lane from an IT Act FIR story. You may still need both files later. You do not start by collapsing them into one slogan.
Ad rules first.
FIR later — if the facts fit.
