I'd say the mere presence of it as a separate tag is the most important point.
You're reading an article. It has a disclosure associated with it. Wouldn't you like to know that?
I mentioned the possibilities of the situation arising in other countries in the third sentence. It's only US-centric because the US (as far as I know) is the only one who has implemented such a policy. I think it's safe to assume the same will happen in other countries.
- ugh 17y agoI would like to know that, but I wouldn’t read the source to find out. What’s so bad about something like <p class="disclosure"><em>Disclosure:</em> XYZ</p> ? Put it inside the <article>-tag (in our glorious HTML5 future) so you don’t lose it. A <disclosure>-tag just seems too specific.
- blaix 17y agoYou wouldn't be reading the source to find out, but if there was ever a legal dispute, someone probably would be. And in such a case it would be nice to having something as unambiguous as a disclosure tag. But I do agree it seems a little too specific.
