What were the pink background pics from again?
I'd certainly like to hear her try to explain to the FTC how her actions on social media aren't deceptive. In fact, I'd pay good money to watch it on TV lol
Someone answered below, but in case you don't see it--this statute specifically includes instances where the creator knew, or should have known, that increased numbers were fake. So, even if someone is able to buy 25k followers with crypto anonymously, a case could be made that such a sudden increase of thousands of new followers/views/comments/etc for no discernable reason is suspicious enough that the person in control of the account should have known it isn't organic and taken steps to rectify the situation.
The particular influencer this sub is about is one of those people who purchases new followers in the tens of thousands daily. She is in egregious violation, whether or not the receipt is in her actual name.
ChatGPT is not a lawyer lol but does provide some insight š ~
The FTC issued a new rule saying creators and brands can't buy fake followers or engagement on accounts they use to make money.

I'm curious about everyone's thoughts on this. Do we think it will affect Canadian influencers? Maybe not yet, but I'd like to believe it's only a matter of time before a similar law finds its way up north.. and oh man, that day will be DELICIOUS.
I am hopeful that he isn't doing it because Janette has dibs for her.. project? If she's still doing anything with that anyway. TBP has been so dull lately I haven't been paying as much attention lol
You have 2 followers. š Maybe you should buy some people to care about whatever this is ~ your bestie knows how š
If my mom was posting shit like this on the internet, I would run away from home š
I wonder if she even eats papaya, or she just buys them for the gram and then throws them away. Seems like something ol Uncrustables would do.
That's such a cute idea! I wish my porch were high enough to do this. If it were my dog would be in there all day anyway - before we remedied the situation, she used to burrow under the shed everyday so she could lay in the cool dirt lol
They're terrible, but damn if those eye spots don't look like they belong in a surrealist painting. Bugs are neat (and terrible).
I'm certain she's on Disney's payroll. Like the very bottom of some Z list instagram marketing list, sure, but I bet a lot of these Disney adult influencers are in on the cut somehow. Like I just can't comprehend this otherwise lol
Don't doubt it at all. I've thought for long time that this whole "Disney adult" thing is literally just top tier propaganda. It couldn't possibly be exploitative, wasteful, earth destroying capitalist bullshit because ~its okay to be a lil silly and drop $10k at an amusement park over and over again, it's the only way to truly heal your inner child~ š« š¤
This lady is UNHINGED. Who honestly feels this deeply about a corporation? Are we sure she isn't a bot? Lol
A tube top for an amusement park? Tell me you don't actually ride the rides without telling me.. gonna be pulling that damn thing up all.day.long!
That's a good tip, I get them from time to time.. so thank you!
I literally do this most mornings with my cup of coffee . The Merlin app was such a delightful find š
She comes up a lot on my Threads feed even though I don't follow her and some of her takes are.. uh, iffy. I understand that some doctors actually want to help people, but there are far too many out there that seem like they're more interested in becoming some sort of famous guru. I wish more people took their advice with a grain of salt.
What a cool guy! Where'd ya snap the pic?
Lol it's cardinals and mockingbirds all day long for me
Imagine being a āØļøworldāØļøfamousāØļøswimsuitāØļømodelāØļø but you still buy all your clothes from Amazon. Tragic.
