Takes effect in October, finally some good news
Lina Khan is a champion of the people. She’s one of a zillion reasons voting matters.
I’m very interested how this will affect Amazon, and how they will be able to enforce it
AMZ: Who, us? All our reviews are REAL!
Target and Walmart: Yeah, what they said!
Lowe’s is horrible about this too. Most of the big box stores are but Lowe’s seems to be the most egregious about it
Maybe they shouldn’t have 6,000 versions of the same thing under different fake brands sold by fake companies.
Clean that up and the rest becomes a hell of a lot easier.
Not to mention the sellers that swap the product but keep the reviews
I updated my Firefox browser. Now, when viewing a product on Amazon, Firefox rates the reviews A-F based on whether or not they are reliable.
Is that part of the browser itself or some extension?
Now there’s an interesting one. If this is actually enforced properly then it could really have a big impact on some sites that are notorious for bot spamming to make themselves look impressive.
Very true but man this is gonna be tough to actually enforce. Not only just bots but how the heck are paid reviews gonna be found and banned? Those are legit reviews by actual people, just saying bull crap because they were paid or received a free product or something
Its a step in the right direction. They’ve gone from having hundreds or thousands of AI reviews to having one or two real reviews for the same price. In theory, anyways.
