First launched in March 2023, the White List included 301 electronic newspapers and magazines; 1,381 general electronic information pages, 953 social networks that were licensed with full information about licensing agencies, license numbers, licensed units, managing agencies as well as website domain names.
Publishing the Black List and the White List is one of MIC’s solutions to strengthen management over online advertising.
