> The issue is whether they properly disclosed having received payments for endorsements
Is it reasonable to expect a celebrity to make an advertisement for free? Maybe, maybe not, but this will be an interesting case.
- zappzoom 4y agoThe example given in the article is that Kim Kardashian was fined $250K for not disclosing that she had been paid to endorse a cryptocurrency on Instagram. In a TV commercial, sure, you assume that celebrities are paid to appear. But on a social media page that blends personal and commercial brands? Maybe this could be a monetization avenue for Twitter: a #PaidForBy field that doesn't count against your character limit, and links to the approved brand page.
- skinnymuch 4y agoI vouched for your comment. Don’t see anything wrong with it.

- night_ship 4y agoAh, I see where I missed the point. I was thinking the TV Ads by Steph Curry, Tom Brady, Larry David, etc. Not the follow-up twitter posts adjacent to the TV campaign. Thanks for clarifying! This will be interesting indeed.

- SilasX 4y agoThat’s not the argument either. Again, it’s just that they need to disclose the fact of having been paid to promote it, if and when they talk about it in another context. Why do people keep inventing these strawman?
