Sounds like this is primarily to punish companies for purchasing fake reviews. I'm a fan
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.
capitalists have paid harris to kick her out if she wins, so lina khan will be gone soon regardless of who wins.
capitalism may not be "the problem" but it is a problem.
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.
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.
Now enforce it?
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.
Businesses that knowingly buy fake reviews, procure them from company insiders or disseminate fake reviews will be penalized
Penalized how much? How big are the fines?
TWO slaps on the wrist.
They might even use a second finger!
Anti-consumer corporations right now:
For a monthly retainer of only 100 millionions I will review and certify each review.
Anyone believes in it?
