I can’t believe the FTC is going after a 7-year-old kid from Nowheresville, Flyover State. Aren’t there enough cheating megacorps to occupy the FTC’s time?
And Amazon has millions of fake/paid reviews and nothing happens to them.
The group “Truth In Advertising” is doing the “going after” by filing a complaint with the FTC. Whether the FTC does anything is yet to be seen. The news article isn’t even clear on the topic...is the kid getting sponsorship revenue above & beyond the YouTube ad revenue? If not then the complaint against the kid is invalid....Google/YT has plenty of lawyers that take care of ad revenue law compliance on their platform.
They didn’t pay off the Deep state visa political donations. A rookie mistake.
