- mynewwork 13y agoIf McDonalds runs an advertisement claiming Burger King serves horse meat, that's illegal. If McDonalds pays a company to post a review posing as a customer that says Burger King served them horse meat, how is that any different?
- chris_mahan 13y agoI'm French, I've had (and loved) horse meat. I guarantee Burger King is not serving horse meat. Edit to reflect responder: I do get the point.
- chris_wot 13y agoYou miss the point?
- dragonwriter 13y agoThe reviewers at issue in this case were largely SEO companies (or their individual paid agents) acting on behalf of the businesses (real or fake) involved, or the actual companies involved (or their employees). And false advertising (and deceptive business practices) were the actual charges.
