Did you know that 30-40% of online reviews are fake, and now new rules being discussed by the US Federal Trade Commission would fine the brands $50,000 per fake review for each time a consumer sees the review.
I'd like to shed light on a pressing issue that's impacting the online world – fake reviews. The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has recognized the severity of this problem and has proposed new rules to combat businesses engaged in buying, selling, and manipulating online reviews. If these rules receive approval, they will carry a significant penalty of up to $50,000 for each fake review, for every instance a consumer comes across it.
The FTC's latest proposal marks a significant milestone in curbing the pervasive market for fake reviews, aiming to protect consumers and their trust.
We've all encountered those suspicious five-star reviews for mediocre products or even received offers to post positive reviews for payment. This type of fraudulent activity undermines the collective power we hold as consumers
