Abstract
Consumer education does not always reduce the potential harm of misleading advertising. When people are trained to detect a specific deceptive advertising tactic, they may become blind to other equally deceptive tactics employed by advertisers. Andrew Wilson writes that a more general training that encourages scepticism towards ads can be effective in helping people spot more deceptive tactics.
