Unfortunately, this rule excludes most of the fake reviews that plague Amazon.
There are a lot of outfits in Pakistan that recruit reviewers in the US by offering a full refund for Chinese products in exchange for a five star review.
This rule should require disclosure of this behavior and frankly any review that does not originate for a bonafide purchase.

It clarifies that the conditional nature of the offer of compensation or incentive may be expressly or implicitly conveyed. > Fake or False Consumer Reviews, Consumer Testimonials, and Celebrity Testimonials: The final rule addresses reviews and testimonials that misrepresent that they are by someone who does not exist, such as AI-generated fake reviews, or who did not have actual experience with the business or its products or services, or that misrepresent the experience of the person giving it.

It also prohibits them from buying such reviews, procuring them from company insiders, or disseminating such testimonials, when the business knew or should have known that the reviews or testimonials were fake or false.
