A federal rule banning fake online reviews is now in effect
For a monthly retainer of only 100 millionions I will review and certify each review.
As someone that recently bought the ftc, I can only apologize for what is a clear first amendment violation that on the surface sounds like a good idea but in reality has no constitutional standing; additionally I recognize my FTC’s recent ruling would be entirely unenforceable if reviews were or were made to be entirely anonymous or even just pseudononymous.
2/5 would recommend buying the FCC instead. Really they’re confusingly named and the ftc should be taken off the market.
Is this retroactive because I really don’t want to have to delete my review of the cyber truck where I called it a used toilet paper recepticle on wheels. I admittedly do not have a head trauma history, so I did not actually buy a cyber truck.
I mean, it can be used as a toilet paper receptacle. Just because you didn’t buy it, doesn’t mean you can’t review it. People review and return stuff all the time. I do not see anything wrong here.
Now enforce it?
How is this even enforced tho?
I appreciate the sentiment though. Recruiters add so much girft into the process… All to wear done the wagie
They’ll likely rely on reports from the public. I don’t imagine this is intended to go after individuals, but rather, companies that buy fake reviews by the hundreds.
Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.
Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.
