Apparently the Federal Trade Commission is pondering the idea of regulating bloggers. Needless to say, this very concept is near and dear to the heart of SWGA Politics, and I’m a bit concerned with that this may entail.
At it’s heart, it looks basic enough. They want to require bloggers who receive items or money to disclose such in their blogs since so many people these days look for product reviews and opinions from blogs (and we thank you by the way). Since people do this, the FTC believes that they must step in and protect the consumer. Gee thanks guys. It’s just a shame folks are already doing it, ain’t it?
