To frown on (or frown upon) something means to disapprove of it, often strongly and publicly, or to regard it as unacceptable, improper, or wrong. It implies a judgment of displeasure, disapproval, or condemnation, typically rooted in moral, ethical, social, or traditional standards. When someone or a group 'frowns on' an action or behavior, they express or hold the view that it should not be done, often leading to a negative social consequence for those who engage in it.
