Ye well I just don't want to risk jail for shilling for Ben and Jerries (the supreme ice cream for any occasion where you don't have guests, since it is so expansive).
How would you enforce laws against shills? Doesn't many influencer work for free samples etc? I am way more worried for misuse of such laws than shills in the first place. I'd rather people just don't trust celebrities for consumer advice.
- perihelions 3y ago- "Doesn't many influencer work for free samples etc?" By the letter of the law, that's a form of remuneration, and is mandatory to disclose. - "A “material connection” to the brand includes a personal, family, or employment relationship or a financial relationship – such as the brand paying you or giving you free or discounted products or services." https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-101-social-media-influencers https://www.ftc.gov/business-guidance/resources/disclosures-... ("Disclosures 101 for Social Media Influencers")
- HWR_14 3y agoIn the US influencers are legally required to disclose that they got free samples or remuneration for their reviews. Specifically in the body of whatever message or video contains the review.
