You are right. I misread America as "North America", but America means USA. In the USA, they have freedom of speech, more so than Canada, the government can't restrict advertising that much. Their industry is mostly self-regulating, for example: https://www.beerinstitute.org/policy-responsibility/responsibility/advertising-marketing-code/

    America means USA

    It also refers to the combined area of North and South America. This the more likely usage here, as who would ask about whether or not the USA has such regulation in a Canadian forum? That would have no relevance.
