  3. News Summary: Appeal Over Legal Fees Could Delay Anthropic Payout

    We start the week with a bit of topping, tailing, and appendixing of some stories we’ve been following for a little while. First and most significantly comes news from the Anthropic case that could have a direct impact, with thanks to Jane Friedman for pointing to the story. It seems as though there might be an appeal in this case. But it’s not coming from where you might expect: the tech giant liable to pay out the $1.5 billion settlement in the class action.

  6. 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
