More transparency coming to blog reviews under new FTC rules – Ars Technica
In another application of media law on the larger public, the FTC has asked bloggers to disclose when they are being compensated or get a “freebie” when doing product reviews. This makes perfect sense, especially given that the FTC has agreed to only investigate the most egregious cases. Still, confusion over the law may quell some speech–perhaps it’s a good thing that already I announced that “I ♥ my Mac” on Facebook a few weeks ago.
