FTC to Regulate Blogging | Fox News

FTC to Regulate Blogging | Fox News: "requiring writers on the Web to clearly disclose any freebies or payments they get from companies for reviewing their products"

"fines up to $11,000 per violation"

That seems really steep!

"The commission stopped short of specifying how bloggers must disclose conflicts of interest."

You better hope you meet there unknown guidelines!

"the FTC will more likely go after an advertiser instead of a blogger for violations"

That could easily change in the future plus it encourages breaking the rules. They should instead only put the fine on the advertiser.
