• The FTC recognizes “the ‘near-endless’ variety of possible relationships between bloggers and the companies about whose products they blog.”

• Also covers celebrity endorsements

• 81 pages of regulations and examples

The European Union’s Unfair Commercial Practices Directive bars companies from “falsely claiming or creating the impression that the trader is not acting for purposes relating to his trade, business, craft or profession, or falsely representing oneself as a consumer”

EU banned astroturfing a long time ago


• Hoping to pre-empt the FTC, the advertising industry developed a privacy icon and campaign

• Will be used to let consumers know why they are seeing a certain ad

• Developed by Future of Privacy Forum, whose members include Microsoft, Yahoo, Google, Procter & Gamble and General Electric

I have therefore resolved that any time I am using social media, such as writing on my blog, updating on Twitter, or leaving a comment on someone else's blog,

I will: •Base my comments on the facts, and make reasonable efforts to gather all relevant information before participating in any discussion•Weigh carefully the value of any comments I choose to make against the potential for harm•Use logic, persuasion and rhetoric, and not personal attacks, to state my case•Exercise sensitivity and awareness when discussing topics such as race and religion

I will not: •Make assumptions about people’s motivations.•Generate controversy for its own sake.•Join others by thoughtlessly “piling on” when someone is under attack

I will always strive to: •Treat people online with the respect and kindness I would extend to a friend or professional colleague.•Take time regularly to leave a supportive comment on a blog or acknowledge someone positively in a public forum.
