The claim of having the best steak, the best steak in the world, or the best steak in the universe, is permitted. This sort of claim is known as "puffery". Saying that your steak was voted best steak in the state 10 years in a row by Consumer Reports is a more specific claim and is false advertising if not true.

Saying that someone just bought the last hotel room at that price when it wasn't true is definitely a specific claim, is false, and is misleading advertising and is illegal.
We don't need more of the same laws. We can stop many of the dark pattern practices being described simply by enforcing existing law. It's pointless to create new redundant laws when we have no intention of enforcing the existing ones. Obviously the new law won't be enforced either and we'll just have more laws on the books. The purpose of these proposals is for politicians to claim they did something by passing a new law.
