  1. 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

  14. CW: IndoPol

    The have finally shown some initiative! Just keep the flame alive. Win back the necessary to keep the alive.

    But, never forget what happened at the same venue (#JantarMantar) 12 years ago. It was another popular that started the slide we suffered since then - the Against (#IAC) movement. Indian youth got duped and was left with profound disappointment. Be careful about malicious manipulations.

    The #GenZ have finally shown some #political initiative! Just keep the flame alive. Win back the #accountability necessary to keep the #democracy alive.

    But, never forget what happened at the same venue (#JantarMantar) 12 years ago. It was another popular #uprising that started the slide we suffered since then - the #India Against #Corruption (#IAC) movement. Indian youth got duped and was left with profound disappointment. Be careful about malicious manipulations.

  16. Gilda con Arne – Der Politik-Podcast: #GCA #36: #Bundesregierung burns #BAföG

    Das sind unsere Themen der Woche (3.06.2026):

    - Der #Koalitionsvertrag ist keiner: Eigentlich sollte das BAföG erhöht werden, nun steht das Ganze auf der Kippe - obwohl die Erhöhung in der Koalitionsvereinbarung vorgesehen ist.

    Forschungsministerin Dorothee #Bär fordert Student/-innen derweil auf zu arbeiten und fördert damit das nachweislich falsche #Narrativ der “faulen #GenZ”. Auch weitere Versprechen der #GroKo werden nicht wie geplant umgesetzt.

    - Entpolitisierte Debatten:

    Inzwischen wird mehr über die Kommunikation von Politiker/-innen gesprochen als über die Inhalte selbst
