#Amazon: "rent this movie for $ or buy it for $$"
They know that they are not selling you a movie you keep, just a movie that you rent for a longer time.
This is #deceptive but it's also #profitable.

🎉 The FTC's #new #rule is here to save us from #deceptive #fees, but wait... the article is MIA! 🕵️♀️ Apparently, we all resemble "abusive #automated #requests." 🤖💥 Maybe they should draft a rule against their own #error #pages first.

In the 14 yrs the #CFPB has existed, it has challenged #banks on outrageous overdraft fees, taken on payday #lenders, & issued rules to rein in rogue #debt collectors. It created a complaint database to help #consumers seeking to resolve disputes with their #creditors & pursued companies & industries w/ #deceptive marketing & billing practices.
The agency was also laser-focused on making companies communicate w/consumers in plain language.

— Surely the #name on the #certificate would have been a #bigfuckingclue.

I think this is Meta, not Firefox. If it's #firefox, great. I have no problem with FF saving my deets. If it's #meta then it's #deceptive and nasty. It feels like an attempt to trick people like me, who refuse to give #instagram or #facebook more info than absolutely necessary, into giving login control to Meta instead of my #browser. In other words, an attempt to take yet another little bit of my online experience away from me.
If I'm wrong and it's just a new Firefox prompt, I'll happily amend this post.

A 🔥 to the geniuses who have made commercial canned soup labels exasperating -- they post weight of the whole can of soup in grams, but then post "serving size" and #nutritional info in milliliters. C'mon 🙄
And so... I've decided the conversion is not mathematical but pragmatic. I'll make the soup from scratch with reduced salt, sugar, fat. Healthier and cheaper.

The Federal Trade Commission today announced a final rule that will ⭐️combat #fake #reviews and testimonials⭐️ by prohibiting their sale or purchase
and allow the agency to seek #civil #penalties against knowing violators.“Fake reviews not only waste people’s time and money, but also pollute the marketplace and divert business away from honest competitors,” said FTC Chair Lina M. Khan.
“By strengthening the FTC’s toolkit to fight #deceptive #advertising, the final rule will ⭐️ protect Americans from getting cheated,
put businesses that unlawfully game the system on notice,
and promote markets that are fair, honest, and competitive.”The FTC held an informal hearing on the proposed rule in February 2024.
In response to public comments, the Commission made numerous clarifications and adjustments to its previous proposal.
