A federal rule banning fake online reviews is now in effect
Now enforce it?
Anti-consumer corporations right now:
Oh look, Lina Khan bringing the heat again. My god, she’s like a bureaucratic superhero. Lemmy loves bagging on capitalism, but capitalism ain’t the problem. The problem is our spineless, bought and paid for government. Action like this can turn us around, wrest power away from the monopolists.
Losing her to a Trump administration is yet another horror we may face.
People who vote for Trump like to blame democrats and woke people, but what they really and truly hate is capitalism. They just can’t see that what makes them unhappy is the natural effect of a fully capitalistic society.
capitalism may not be “the problem” but it is a problem.
Capitalism is why our govt is bought and paid for. They are inextricable.
Sounds like this is primarily to punish companies for purchasing fake reviews. I’m a fan
Is this retroactive because I really don’t want to have to delete my review of the cyber truck where I called it a used toilet paper recepticle on wheels. I admittedly do not have a head trauma history, so I did not actually buy a cyber truck.
But your review was still accurate. I wipe my ass on every cybertruck I see because of it. A++++ highly recommend!
With all the ugly angles that sounds dangerous
I live life on the edge(s)
I mean, it can be used as a toilet paper receptacle. Just because you didn’t buy it, doesn’t mean you can’t review it. People review and return stuff all the time. I do not see anything wrong here.
It’s not actually possible to return one of these cyber trucks due to rules involving sale after purchase.
How is this even enforced tho?
I appreciate the sentiment though. Recruiters add so much girft into the process… All to wear done the wagie
They’ll likely rely on reports from the public. I don’t imagine this is intended to go after individuals, but rather, companies that buy fake reviews by the hundreds.
Probably via some attempt to force everyone to verify who they are online by providing their identification documents. It will probably be managed by some company specialized in handling that data, and of course willing to share the data with police and other gov organizations. Data that will be used to track citizens.
Just another endless battle to keep net neutrality alive.
Anyone believes in it?
