They have that right.... just as we do

The FTC has NO BUSINESS nosing into any possible financial arrangements between two people they've decided to stalk on social media

FTC needs to be WORKING such as responding to complaints. Not surfing social media pages for victims they can randomly harass
Oh those poooor celebs that are obviously abused and soooooo destitute they can't defend themselves or afford an attorney.
Man, it must be absolutely horrible to not have a huge soapbox to shout from, those poor,poor, babies. Maybe you should start a go fund me account to help them?
Social media is going to be the death of us all...

Old JD effectively used Standard Oil to eliminate competition in the pricing of oil. The industry made huge amounts of money one the oligopoly put a floor on prices. Making money has always been more important than systematic economic purity.

Talk about an abuse of the site

And fined bigtime

Seriousl.... trolling Celebrities websites on social media and demanding they stop endorse products on their OWN PAGES??

Our Tax dollars do not go to pay for the FTC to spend all day on social media harassing people.

Someone need to do their job instead of dick-ing around surfing various websites for victims.

Who-ever is responsible from the FTC for threatening these celebrities needs to loose their job(s).

Un. Fricken. Believable

Ohh boo hoo, poor little massively rich celebrities are having issues making millions of dollars!

Let me shed a tear about how they aren't given special treatment over everyone else in this one matter where they do get special treatment everywhere else.

Let me shed a tear!

We have officially entered the spin zone.

A Sidenote-Why is it when people themselves refuse to read a link that offends their senses, then everyone else is assumed to not have read it either? even the person posting it?? some people make no sense. Anyhow....

" iWWD has obtained the 90 letters sent to 45 celebrities, their agents and the brands they were publicizing"

"publicizing", that's a unique word. I wonder what the definition is?? Mention a product that worked great for you and are you are now "publicizing it?? ON THEIR OWN SOCIAL MEDIA WEBPAGES?? How far does this go? With the Gov't, we know how far reaching this is

But in these cases they are talking about, the celebs aren't just mentioning the products out of the goodness of their hearts. They are getting paid thousands of dollars. Close to an ad if not purely an ad.

They are also still allowed to post, just need to disclaim. This is nowhere near as sinister as you make it out to be. If I have to mention that a company paid me or sent me product, why wouldn't celebs have to do the same?
