If we outlaw it or have some litmus test for "propaganda-vs-ad" etc there will of course be very smart people who figure out the loopholes. Hence "influencers"

If we outlaw it or have some litmus test for "propaganda-vs-ad" etc there will of course be very smart people who figure out the loopholes. Hence "influencers" and astroturfing and ads that masquerade as blogs and...even without legal restrictions in place.
- ddevault 6y agoThe law isn't a script. Exploiting loopholes can either result in a judge intepreting the law as designed and handing down a fine regardless, or we can work to refine the law in further legislation. Just because it's difficult and someone will try to circumvent it doesn't mean we shouldn't work on it.
