The flag, explained

Why the flag: the 12 Jun Instagram post by @meera.glows carried only #collab — under the ASCI Influencer Guidelines that is not an acceptable disclosure; a clear, upfront label such as #ad, 'Advertisement', or 'Paid partnership' is required, in the post's own language. The post is FLAGGED with the captured evidence, and the intake row is in the audit trail. The other posts pass; the flag is per post, not per campaign.

Data residency: This record lives in the India deployment, on in-region infrastructure with an in-country HSM, held under the DPDP Act, 2023. Nothing in it left India to produce this view.

This is one lookup. An admitted authority gets the same view for any tracking code within its jurisdiction and admitted domains — see the India market page for the rule sets behind these signals.
