Houston! We have an Internet Advertising Problem!
More goodness from ProfGMedia www.profgmedia.com/
FTC Act Section 5 requires online influencers to disclose (clearly and conspicuously) when they are paid to promote something. Failure to do so = deceptive advertising and is CLEARLY ILLEGAL.
- Polymarket was busted paying online influencers (undisclosed) $2-3K a pop to post simulated bets (1,100) on a fake website that generated ~ 140M views, with many showing big profits, when in fact, in the real world the bets would have lost $$.
> 100 million brand-related posts on Twitter across 268 brands had ~ 96% of sponsored posts were not disclosed.
- millions of posts on YouTube and Pinterest were analyzed and had disclosures only 10% and 7% of the time.
Why it matters? Gen Z (ages ~14-29) say they’re more likely to buy from a brand b/c it partners with an influencer they like. Surveys show Gen Z'ers trust an influencer endorsement of a product over an ad from the business itself

No one but people living in New York and New Jersey should be donating to Kars4Kids, the charity organization with the most annoying jingle in tv history.
The judge found that the organization violated California laws by failing to disclose that donations primarily fund programs that send 17-18 yr olds Orthodox Jewish kids to study in Israel.

"Now, we're in this cycle of like, 'what's a podcast? Is it a video, is it audio, is it a YT channel?'. To me, it's the RSS feed; if you can take it with you, and I can listen to it on anything, not just YT, that's a podcast to me."

Any company promoting media as a "podcast", but we can't subscribe using our podcatcher of choice, *and* download for offline listening, is guilty of false advertising.
